    <content type="html">Speculation time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kamui, Gemini, Seals, Angels, most of the people who know this is happening but aren't on a side yet - we all have powers. Some of us have always had them, some only saw them starting to manifest now, but they're there, and considering that they're the norm here and the exception in the normal world, we can safely assume a connection.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So do are we involved here because we have powers? Or do we have powers because we're involved here?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And if the latter, if the battle and humanity wins. (Any Angels who are going to comment and tell me about how it doesn't matter because we'll never find out, kindly fuck off and don't bother, I &lt;i&gt;know&lt;/i&gt; you're convinced you're going to win. Most people are.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If this is all over and we're still around to see it, will we still have powers?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Or do we just get to be normal for a change?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyone? &lt;strike&gt;Bueller?&lt;/strike&gt;</content>
