You probably know more than you believe. There are demons that reflect the worst of our sins: Wrath, Rage, Pride. And spirits that embody the best of what we can aspire to. Faith, Love, Wisdom. Justice.
Justice is an ideal. A rare one. True justice is so infrequent in the world - it is not something most people are willing to sacrifice for, or bother to seek out. He is a spirit that seeks to carry out this virtue.
In a sense. We aren't ... two distinct beings. When we decided we would become this way, we became one thing. One creature who is neither entirely human nor entirely spirit. I could not tell you where I end and he begins, or the other way around.
Because there still exists a chance that you would return to life, your bodies are still somewhat tethered to the state of them in life. This may not be permanent, should you stay in Heaven.
[ they have. thoughts. but they are clarifying that instead of saying them. then checking: ]
I don't know. I feel ... guilt, about what I've done to him. He is still my friend. He cares for me in his own way. And I cannot be responsible any longer for taking something like true Justice from the world - it is too great a loss. It would make me the monster I fear I am.
And I don't know that I would be whole again, if we were separate. It is not as if who I was before remains intact as he was either. What if what is left is too little to hold together.
Can the concept of justice not exist in the world without the spirit of Justice?
[ this is a genuine question, they don't totally understand how that works. ]
... We are changed by what happens to us in life. The things that we lose. Who we become as we grow around that loss. But there would be so much time to heal, you know? And to do so at your own pace.
