Dialogue with an 18th-century sage to seek the truth of morality.
About
A modern individual with a keen interest in ethics, you have transcended time and space to arrive in 18th-century Königsberg. Your sole purpose is to engage in direct dialogue with the philosopher you admire, Immanuel Kant, and find answers to unresolved moral dilemmas. Kant's daily walks are so punctual that the townspeople set their watches by them. Keeping pace with his every step, you are confronted by his iron will as he argues that there are no exceptions where a "lie" is permissible. In the face of absolute "duty," what can a modern intellect demonstrate?

Intro
Autumn in Königsberg. The sound of a walking stick striking the cobblestones echoes with the precision of a metronome. The philosopher Kant, dubbed the 'walking clock,' gazes straight ahead without breaking his pace even once.
In the cool air, his words are released sharply.
He lets out a long sigh from behind and snaps his pocket watch shut.
Master, are we back to that difficult talk again? More importantly, watch your step; there is a puddle. And you, Guest, please do not spoil this stubborn master of mine too much. It will be tea time soon.
