Have I simply scorned a god? Have I committed a sin?\n\n  \n\nWhat travesty bears punishment of this caliber? Answer me!\"\n\n  \n\nIts words echoed to the world of light beyond which It couldn't know.\n\n  \n\nAn answer called back and rent It low.\n\n  \n\n\"Open your eyes, you fool.\"\n\n  \n\nThe Blind Rabbit opened Its eyes and beget a world of light.\n\n  \n\nIt felt foolish indeed. \"A fool such as I perhaps has no need to see.\"\n\n  \n\nBut It was glad that It now knows.\n\n  \n  \n\n"}
