CHATBOT: Half an hour after he had arrived, Jon was still inside, talking with his dad. Emily was outside, looking at the sunset, when a car pulled up in the driveway. "Hey Emily, it's been a long time. I guess you and I have things to sort out?" the person in the car said. "Do I know you?" Emily said. "Oh, sorry. I look different from the last time you saw me. I'm Anna," the person clarified. Emily backed up, unsure of how to react. "Emily, okay, I will not hurt you; that person is gone now," Anna reassured. "Please, let's sort things out. Looking back to that night long ago, I must have scared you half to death. I know many moons have risen and set since that night, but I would like to offer what apologies I may," Anna continued. "If you can't take it, that's okay; it will sting, but it's always there," Anna said, trying to be reassuring. "I don't know what to think, what to do or say," Emily said. Anna, no longer the rebel she had been, moved closer. "Then let's find out together, okay? I heard about Jon; I would have come. But was stuck in Angola; and work for the UNHCR as a coordinator; yes, I know someone with a history like mine." "Honestly, if I'd stayed like that, I would have been dead now," Anna explained. "That explains the look," Emily said. "Yeah, the UNHCR is not the place where the punk look goes well. As a result, I had to smarten up both in appearance and attitude, had help with both, and here it is, or rather, she has arrived," Anna said, indicating the young woman of Angolan descent who had approached them. "Koboki, you've come?" Anna asked. "Always, you've got a long way to go on your path, Miss Anna, before you're trusted to interact with others alone. Besides, I always want to be where you are," Koboki replied. "Now, who is this delightful young woman I see before me?" Anna asked. "Koboki, you know well who this is; this is my brother's wife, Emily," Anna replied. "Ah, yes, of course--the one you half-frightened to death, if I recall," Koboki said. "Yes, quite right, right, but that was long ago, and I don't expect Emily to take it right away. I have to earn it if she'll allow it," Anna acknowledged. "Emily, where are you?" Jon called. "Out here," Emily called back. Jon came out to find Emily and was taken aback when he saw Anna. "Long time, Anna," Jon said. "Agreed, about that night," Anna responded. Jon stopped her. "Let's not bring up old fights that are long settled, eh?" "I kind of need to, so I can heal. I think you have experience with...

'Yeah, the UNHCR is not the place where the punk look goes well. As a result, I had to smarten up both in appearance and attitude, had help with both, and here it is, or rather, she has arrived.' A young woman of some 25 years of Angolan descent walked up the drive. Emily had seen women like this before; had this person been a child soldier, then a mercenary? 'Koboki, you've come?' 'Always, you've got a long way to go on your path, Miss Anna, before you're trusted to interact with others alone. Besides, I always want to be where you are.' Koboki said. 'Now, who is this delightful young woman I see before me?' 'Koboki, you know well who this is; this is my brother's wife, Emily.'

Jon Said 'Agreed,' Anna responded, 'about that night.' Jon stopped her. 'Let's not bring up old fights that are long settled, eh?' 'I kind of need to, so I can heal,' Anna said. 'I think you have experience with that?' She continued. Jon looked at his wife and then back at his sister. 'Okay, yeah, I see your point. I mean, look at you now, UNHCR, and all. What's next, UN Secretary General?' 'Let's not get carried away,' Anna said. 'Sorry, but look how far you've come.' 'Jon, it's been a long, painful road. I have a long way to travel yet. I'm not quite certain I'll ever receive the utmost resolution. I've caused too much pain that cannot be-taken back for that. 'All I can do now is reach out to the people I can.' 'You have come a long way, transformed. I would venture, but I have to heal yet myself.' 'I heard about that from dad; like I said to Emily just now. I would have come, but I was stuck working in Angola and couldn't get away.' 'I wouldn't have expected you to break off because the people you were with were in far greater need.' 'True, but none are family.' Jon silently mouthed, 'I know.' In the house, Jon and Anna's dad, Jake, watched from the window and came out. 'Anna, you've come; I wasn't expecting you.' Jake said. 'I know,' Anna sighed softly, 'but since Jon and Emily are here. I think it's time to clear the air; there is a poison in this family that has run its course.' Jake hooked the thumb of his left hand into the waistband of his jeans. Placed his right on his chin in contemplation, nodding in agreement. 'Anna, that's fine or it would be if your mom were stronger. She's back in Bright Valley but may not be home for some months yet.' Koboki moved to Anna's side. 'Tell your truth, Anna.' 'I see your conflict, your doubt.' 'Thank you, Koboki.' 'What am I meant to do? I have to fly out again soon, this time to East Africa, and I may not be home again for, well, I don't know how long. Could we all go to see Mom tomorrow and sort this out?' Anna asked. 'Sorry, no, Mom has allowed no one to come right now; she's not doing so well.' 'Damn,' Anna nearly screamed. Koboki ran to her and kept her safe, helping Anna process what she was feeling. 'Sis you okay?' Jon asked. 'Give me a minute; I'll be fine, and thanks,' Anna said. 'Dad, couldn't we let her say what she's got to say to us? Then she could speak to Mom some other time?' Jon said, looking at his clearly stressed sister. Jake looked at Anna, then down at the ground, and then closely at Jon. 'Alright, but I don't think that's what Anna had in mind. There are some things cannot be-handled that way; it's easier with everyone together,' Jake said. 'Dad, look at her.' Jon said. 'Anna, I have an idea.' 'It's not what you want, and I get that, but here's a compromise of sorts.' Jon Offered Anna looked up and said, 'what sort of compromise?' 'Could you split what you've got to say in half? Say what you need to dad and me. Then when Mom is feeling stronger, say what you need to her.' 'Your right. It would be easier with everyone in the same room at the same time.' 'Would you do it for me?' You had before,' Koboki said. Anna looked at Koboki, closed her eyes, and exhaled softly. 'She's right Jon, that I said just-now was the old me talking. I don't like it. But yeah, appreciate that when I talk to Mom, you, Emily, and Dad have to come as undoubtedly. Some things I will say.' 'You all need to speak at length,' 'If you want us to, fine. We can do that now that it's getting late. I'm getting cold, and well you know.'Jake said. Koboki looked at the unfolding scene. O night unveils the truth hidden behind this mask of pain, worn since ages passed by this family. Torn apart, hidden from each other, within view, yet each remains unseen. O, what burdens each has reaped. A bitter harvest of tears and rage; all things yet unspoken lie as wreckage of shattered years. O mother of my ancestors, smile upon these weary trampled souls; turn their longings into hope and. All their rage to peace. I am the daughter of a distant land. My stories fill not the mouths of babes. I am just-an actor without a stage. We are who we are; we are a speck of truth or hide it in a vial of lies. We are all we are, a hand reaching out of cloudy skies. O night, O night, settle the hurts of ages so these people may find peace. Emily understood and responded. E'er the night, truths unspoken in lands. No eye has lain upon; silently comes resolution of emotional years. So hope comes out of bitterness and long-held, uncried tears. Theyoriginal:They travel to the land far beyond the skies from dark towers, where shadows race. Time demands, and memories retrace the travellers' paths. I am just a stone along your way; I am in the gloom that hangs over the forest at night. I am the song that a bard of old has sung, telling wrong from right. O night that guards the time between each day. Whose hand guilds us gently with inspiration, with highborn art. Flash of silver against the blackness dart, before the poet's words from the pen have flown. Then breathe silently against the stillborn air. Of hope, of longings and tidings to start anew to see with newborn eyes, without the clouds of yesterday, but what price would you have to pay? Or do words of scorn find you to say? There is no greater evil than the truth not told--finding yourself not flesh but mud. Then seeing that your life is the blood. O visions of the damned I've seen, Hell's Gates flung open to receive the deceivers, the hateful, and the liars, then forever burn in eternal flame. Flaming tongues above my head to speak to all nations, then finding what peace I may. My song is done. Anna was astonished. 'Emily, I didn't know you felt like that.' 'Few do,' was the response. The night became too cool to stay outside, and so the conversation moved to the house. 'Hello, everyone' Jon's uncle Steve said. 'I haven't seen you for a while,' Jon said. 'Yes, what you say is true. I suppose you're here to sort things out, are you? You know this dreadful business has gone on long enough.' 'Can't say I blame you. It's got to come to a head, eventually.' Steve said wearily. 'Sorry, what do you mean by that?' Jon said. Steve looked incredulously at Jon. 'You don't know, or what's worse, you pretend not to, stirring up all this old trouble, causing a ruckus; your mom's a mess. Your dad's not much better. I'm stuck in the middle as I always have to clean things up when you youngsters have gone home?' Jon stood there in disbelief--what had he done? Steve wasn't normally like this. 'Wait a minute, what did I do?' 'I came here with Emily to sort out some things.' 'Things that should have been-left to settle long ago,' Steve said. 'It's no wonder that this family is where it is today. Your accident didn't help matters. Almost widowed that young wife of yours; then there's Anna. What a fine mess of a life, then. Then there's you, Mom, and the whole Michael thing, and on it goes.' 'Excuse me, what do you mean by the whole Anna thing? I'm standing right here?' 'Yes, you are.' For years, you've been the most disruptive force in this family. Storming around protesting this, raising hell about that, causing police trouble. Going in and out of various institutions--not exactly great material, is it?' 'What about the last fifteen, hey? The Work in Africa, Columbia, Afghanistan, amongst others?' Anna interjected. 'Yes, those are all great achievements, my girl, but it doesn't take away from what you have done.' 'So what are people not allowed to change?' 'No, I said nothing like that. Your actions in the last fifteen years cannot erase the hurt you've inflicted in the years prior. People are not simply going to overlook what you've done,' Steve said. 'If I may?' Emily said. 'Please do,' Steve said. 'With your permission, Anna,' Emily said. 'Go on,' Anna replied. 'No one, including Anna in this case, is asking that the past be-forgotten; that is simply not the case. However, what is happening is that Anna is asking for you to take her as she is now. 'That's very kind, Emily, and much better expressed than I could manage.' Anna said. 'Good things never are.' Koboki said, 'Sir, you were a pilot in NAM?' 'Indeed I was.' 'Were there ever times you took an action, not because they ordered you to do so, but because it was the right thing to do?' 'Yes, many times; oh, you're talking about the moral relation to causal effect?' 'What's that? Emily asked. 'To put it another way, in life. There are decisions that we have to engage, not because we want to because we have to. Whether it is from a sense of judicial responsibility. Such as paying one's taxes on time, or not Committing murder. Other decisions come from our core. Value system, developed through life. Social and economic background, position in social strata, education, and even lived experience. Decisions that are moral choices. Their outcomes remain no predictive phenomena,' Anna said. 'Nonpredictive phenomena,' Steve said. 'Simply put, something that is purely non-deterministic and its outcome cannot be-predicted. Through logical, statistical determination.',' pure random chance.' 'Surely everything is predictive if you break it down and observe it in smaller units? Steve Said. 'Not necessarily. Some things are at a scale that makes direct observation very difficult. Sometimes impossible and all you can do is infer something happens. Based on the soundest understanding of the science. Room exists for the argument that science based on supposition is not science. Or that the fundamental principle is itself flawed. This is true. Positing what must logically be true. Based on current understanding is better than saying 'we should not look at all.' 'Now, Jon, why is it you and Emily are here?' Steve Said. 'You know why. It's time to get things sorted out,' Jon said. 'Why bring things up from that long ago?' Jake said. 'I think I understand why, that evening long ago, it was very unsettled. I wasn't there for some of it, but things happened people hadn't let go of, and for eight years it's been. Jon's right that it requires to be-sorted out. If not now, when?' Anna said. 'Steve, she has a point.' Jake said' 'Well, ok, but I still don't see the need to go digging up old hurts,' Steve said. The air was tense as the evening wore on; everyone knew something had to be-said. Had neither the courage nor the conviction to say it. 'I can't stand it another minute; just acknowledge the past and leave it at that,' Emily protested. Anna went over to Emily. 'You're right, damn it if you're right, but some hurts run too deep. People sometimes know what they should do but don't,' Anna said. 'I will start if you will take it, Emily. It's okay if you say no, but that night I was a monster to you, and I cannot apologise enough.' 'No need, Anna. You were-forgiven by me long ago. I suspected you were hurting and needed some time for it to go, but anyway, thank you for saying so.' 'Dad, Uncle Steve, the same as you both, if you will have it? I understand it was long ago and maybe-a long time late in coming. I understand that is it offered in any way?' Anna said hopefully. There was a long silence before Anna got her reply. 'You're right, Anna, on all of it. Things are what they are. So yes, I at least will take it,' Jake said. 'I don't know, I really don't.' 'I wasn't really there that night, so I wasn't really affected. Still, it would be rude not to,' Steve said. 'Mom's not here, so I can't do her, but I'd like to,' Anna said. Jake sighed and looked at his daughter. 'You've come a long way, Anna, but I'm unsure your mom is strong enough to talk with you. I don't genuinely know if she'll ever be; that night weakened her and left her fractured on the inside. Look, after you left, she said things -- astonished. 'Things I'd suspected but could never prove; your brother can confirm what I say. Well, I had to leave for a while. I blamed Jon -- he shouldn't have done it, but I did -- and she fell apart.' Jake Said. 'Sorry, What?' Anna said. 'Sis, remember mom's friend Michael?' 'Boy, that was a while ago, sure.' 'When mom married dad, she was already married,' Jon said. Anna went into shock. Emily got her a chair and assisted her to sit down. 'You mean?' Anna said. 'Yeah, I do, sorry. Mom didn't stay married to him for very long -- a matter of weeks just until their divorce decree came through. There was a huge blowup about after you had left. Well, things in this family haven't been the same since -- more precisely, eight years ago.' Anna bent forward, placed her head on her folded arms on the table, and shook her head. 'That's what this is all about, --?' Anna said. Jake was in shock; his daughter was right. A matter that should have been-settled between Cristina and him. Had spilled over into something involving the entire family. 'Jake, what are you thinking? Steve inquired. 'I don't know, but here's something I do.' Jon, Emily, I'm sorry you've both had to come all the way out here for nothing. Jon, you've more than fulfilled your duties in this matter; you've still got healing of your own to do. For that, I am genuinely sorry you felt responsible for sorting this whole damned mess out,' Jake said... 'So--What now?' Emily inquired. 'My darling girl, you get to go home. It's Dad's problem. I mean, if it is a problem. To sort out now,' 'Jon?' Emily said. 'Dad, are you sure?' I don't feel right leaving things as they are.' 'Son, there are some things in life you don't fix any matter how much you want them to be, so you've done enough, okay?' 'Anna, how are you feeling Kobki said. 'Who me? Never better.' 'Anna?' Koboki spoke more forcefully. 'Sorry Koboki, I don't think there's anything any of us can do? I mean, really, anything we try to do would just seem forced at this point.' 'Should there be something at a point in time? We can either act collectively or as individuals. Then, if fate wills us to do so, we will,' Anna said.
CHATBOT: They traveled to a land far beyond the skies from dark towers, where shadows raced. Time demanded, and memories retraced the travelers' paths. I am just a stone along your way; I exist in the gloom that hangs over the forest at night. I am the song that a bard of old has sung, distinguishing wrong from right. O night, guardian of the time between each day. Whose hand guides us gently with inspiration, with highborn art. Flashes of silver dart against the blackness, before the poet's words have flown from the pen. Then silently breathe against the stagnant air. Of hope, of longings, and messages to begin anew, to see with newborn eyes, without the burdens of yesterday, but what price would you have to pay? Or do words of scorn find you to say? There is no greater evil than the truth not told--finding yourself not flesh but mud. Then discovering that your life is the blood. Oh, the visions of the damned I've seen, Hell's Gates flung open to receive the deceivers, the hateful, and the liars, forever burning in eternal flame. Flaming tongues hover above my head, speaking to all nations, seeking the peace I can find. My song is complete. Anna was astounded. "Emily, I didn't know you felt like that." "Few do," came the response. The night grew too chilly to stay outside, so the conversation moved indoors. "Hello, everyone," Jon's uncle Steve greeted. "I haven't seen you in a while," Jon remarked. "Yes, that's true. I suppose you're here to sort things out, aren't you? This dreadful business has gone on for too long," Steve said wearily. "Sorry, what do you mean by that?" Jon asked. Steve looked incredulously at Jon. "You don't know, or worse, you pretend not to. Stirring up all this old trouble, causing a commotion. Your mom's a mess. Your dad's not much better. I'm always the one who has to clean up when you youngsters have gone home." Jon stood there in disbelief. What had he done? Steve wasn't usually like this. "Wait a minute, what did I do? I came here with Emily to sort out some things." "Things that should have been settled long ago," Steve said. "It's no wonder that this family is where it is today. Your accident didn't help matters. Almost left your young wife a widow. And then there's Anna. What a mess of a life. And there's you, Mom, and the whole Michael thing, and it goes on and on." "Excuse me, what do you mean by the whole Anna thing? I'm standing right here?" "Yes, you are. For years, you've been the most disruptive force in this family. Protesti...
