...In short. The Eden Treaty is a promise to "stop hating each other." It is intended to put an end to the long-standing, almost visceral hostility that has existed between Trinity and Gehenna. Because they could not trust one another, hatred simply accumulated for eternity. This is the process of beginning to build trust anew in its place. To put it more simply, it is a peace treaty between Gehenna and Trinity.

However, following the disappearance of the General Student Council President, this treaty lost all meaning. "Eden"... that is the name of the paradise found in ancient scriptures. I don't know what meaning she intended to imbue it with, but it was likely just the President's usual brand of cleverness.

Are you familiar with the "Seven Old Rules" of Kivotos?

The fifth one was a question regarding "Paradise."

"Can the truth of one who has reached paradise be proven?"

Like the other old rules, it is a sequence of words that is somewhat difficult to grasp. However, one interpretation is to see this as a "paradox regarding the proof of paradise's existence."

If a place called paradise exists, then one who reaches it would feel supreme satisfaction and joy, and thus would never leave paradise for eternity.

If they were to leave paradise, it would mean that it was not a "true paradise" where one could obtain genuine bliss.

If that is the case, then one who has reached paradise can never be observed outside of it. Their existence could never be captured.

Can the truth of one who does not exist be proven?

In short... this fifth rule is an "inscrutable question" regarding something that cannot be proven from the start. But at the same time, I wonder. Is a truth that cannot be proven worthless? Through this almost cynical text, is there not something she truly wished to ask? Eden... the paradise in the scriptures. A place that exists nowhere, and cannot be found.

A sweet, sweet phantom image painted by dreamers.
