Ancient Japanese proverb.

A man is cutting wood in the forest and his axe falls into a lake. A goddess emerges from the lake holding a silver axe and a gold axe. She asks the man which axe belongs to him. He says neither of them are his. She praises him for his honesty and gives the man both axes as a reward.

Rip Mimi

Mimi has always been unhinged and crazy. Stop sane-washing her. Embrace the insane. And possibly perform other acts on the insane.

Are they enchanted? What's the metal composition? Is she just thinking of the melt value? A gold or silver axe would be kinda trash to use.

Is Mimi losing her mojo by going for the "sane" option?

She should be carrying a spare axe in her blouse and start swinging at the Fairy / deity for taking so much time bring back her first axe.

Or some wild shit like wishing for an axe made of material so dense it creates a black-hole.
