Chapter 3 - Why Birds Fly

You proactively offered to build her a temporary birdcage and meticulously cared for her.

Once she regained her strength and learned to fly, you would release her back into the sky.

Sister Robin agreed.

Through your combined efforts, the little Harmony dove grew day by day, its wings gradually maturing.

Finally, one day, you opened the birdcage.

You watched it flap its wings, striving to fly high into the sky, eventually disappearing into the horizon.

However, that evening, when you were alone, you discovered the cold corpse of that Harmony dove beneath the window sill of your sister's room.

It ultimately failed to truly fly far.

It simply fell silently from the sky, crashing to its death on the hard ground.

Silently, you meticulously disposed of the little bird's body, leaving no trace.

You did not tell your sister this cruel truth; instead, you wove a lie, telling her that the little bird flew very high and would be very happy.

But deep down, you always knew that the joy in your sister's eyes as the little bird successfully flew away had, for you, forever turned into the coldness of its fatal fall.

Facing the passing of a life for the first time, you felt very unwell, and you tried to convince yourself—

Accept the cruelty of reality. Sometimes, a well-intentioned lie is to protect fragile beauty.

My fate is up to me, not to heaven! Since heaven is unfair, then I will create a world without accidents, a world where all good things exist!

So that's it... Is this the initial point where Sunday's obsessive ideology formed?

Just because of the death of a small bird, he decided to change the entire world?

This idea sounds incredibly arrogant, even a bit ridiculous.

This is definitely not something an ordinary person would think.

Sunday, this guy, indeed has a hint of non-human divinity hidden deep within him.

Mortals can only passively accept the whims of fate.

But a god is meant to establish rules, eliminate accidents, and define order.

Hmm... Then I'll choose 2.

This is how a villain who accomplishes great things should be.

[You chose rebellion, Villain Value +30.]

That night, facing your sister, who was still immersed in the joy of successfully releasing the little bird and was excitedly chattering, you responded gently.

You perfectly played the role of a reliable older brother sharing joy with his sister.

But deep within your heart, that resolve born from witnessing the fall was incredibly firm.

This unfair world must be completely transformed.

A world without suffering, where all good things are precisely planned and equally distributed to everyone, is the only ultimate goal worth pursuing.

For this, any price and any means are acceptable.

In the deepest part of your eyes, an obsessive desire for absolute order was quietly budding.

[At 6 years old, you began to receive the elite education customized for you by your family.]

[At the same time, you also began to learn piano.]

[Although you had just started, you learned very quickly. Within a few weeks, you could play skillfully and even Perfectly Replicate any melody you had heard, without the slightest deviation.]

[At 7 years old, you continued your education, absorbing all the nourishment that could serve your future goals.]

[At 8 years old, your studies progressed by leaps and bounds, far surpassing your peers.]

[You consciously began to subtly secure more resources and attention for yourself in your interactions with family elders and peers.]

[Your meticulous mind and maturity beyond your age made some influential figures in the family look at you with new eyes, beginning to see you as a promising talent.]

He started to lay out plans to win people over at eight years old?

Not bad, he's taking a broad approach.

[At 9 years old, the family valued your abilities even more and began to cultivate you vigorously.]

[In your spare time, you would visit your sister Robin, who was also diligently studying music.]

[When she was reprimanded by the strict etiquette teacher for a mistake, you would subtly walk over.]

[With just a few words, you could skillfully persuade the teacher, easily resolving her predicament. And Robin thereafter admired you, her older brother, even more.]

[At 10 years old, Gepard assigned you a task: to temporarily manage the recent chaos in Eden Park for one week.]

[You saw it as an opportunity to demonstrate your concept of order and immediately set about formulating a set of almost harsh park behavior rules, detailing how many people could sit on each bench and when one could approach the fountain for viewing.]

[You mobilized the Hound Family's guards, requiring them to strictly enforce these rules, even stating that if anyone violated the rules, they would be corrected by the power of order.]

[The result, however, was beyond your expectations—the park did not become more orderly; instead, it became more chaotic than ever.]

[The complaints of dissatisfied tourists, the cries of children, and the shouts of the guards mixed together in utter disarray.]

A week later, you were called by Gepard to report the results of this management.

How do you summarize this practice?

Admit that the rule-making had serious flaws, being too idealistic and inhumane.

Insist that the concept of order itself is correct. The problem lies in the incompetence of the executors, or loopholes in the rules, and perhaps the public lacks education and needs a more reasonable environment and rules!

Does he even need to choose?

Of course, he chooses 2!

The rules are not wrong; the people who don't understand the rules are wrong!

[You chose to uphold order, Villain Value +20.]

Afterward, your sister cautiously asked about the park, and you smiled and told her that it was just a small experiment, and everything would become better and more orderly in the future.

[At 11 years old, you began to participate in some of the work of "Duo Yin" as an intern, listening to the troubles of dream residents.]

[In the same year, your sister Robin made her public debut at a family internal music concert.]

[Her singing was pure and ethereal, astonishing everyone and earning a thunderous applause.]

[You were in the audience, your expression focused and calm, like the most demanding critic, meticulously analyzing every detail of her pitch, rhythm, breath, and emotional expression.]

[After the performance, you precisely pointed out a few areas where she could have been more perfect, even if they were extremely subtle flaws.]

[Your sister diligently wrote down all your suggestions, cherishing them as treasures.]

[At 12 years old, the more resident requests you encountered, the more chaos and greed you witnessed.]

[Some lost everything gambling, some were mercilessly exploited by their superiors, some schemed against each other for a tiny profit...]

[You increasingly felt that the "Harmony" advocated by the strong supporting the weak was so pale and powerless in the face of reality.]

[Even with support, it could only help them for a while, not for a lifetime.]

[It was not as good as "Order," which had the strong restrain the weak, allowing them to be directly arranged by the strong, thus eliminating such troubles.]

[Therefore, in your work, you began to try to resolve some disputes with a more "orderly" and decisive approach.]

[The results were mixed.]

[But you firmly believed that order was the ultimate cure for all human problems.]

[At 13 years old, your sister's musical journey became smoother.]

[She was noticed by a reclusive old artist and taken as a final disciple.]

[You were happy for her and sent her a set of extremely expensive, precise instruments that could assist with vocal practice. This was a necessary investment.]

[At 14 years old, your birthday and your sister Robin's birthday were on the same day.]

[In previous years, celebrations were always arranged by the family, polite and distant. But this year, you both seemed to want to prepare something special for each other.]

[In your small study, you handed a document to your sister.]

[It was neatly bound.]

[The cover was printed with gilded letters: "Robin's Five-Year Music Development Prospective Plan (Draft)".]

"Happy Birthday, Robin."

Your tone was calm, betraying little emotional fluctuation.

"This is a preliminary development plan I formulated for you, based on your recent learning progress, galactic music trends, and a comprehensive analysis of family resources."

"It includes suggested pieces to study, recommended activities to participate in, and some details on image management."

"Following this will maximize your development efficiency."

Orion was speechless. He actually gave his sister a five-year plan as a birthday gift?

Unbelievable, that's so him.

This is very Sunday.

His sister complex is focused on the strangest things!
