If you were in this situation - forced to see something cruel like that, and knowing the two options you face are that the god who's meant to judge you either could not or would not stop it from happening... What would you do?
In short, that isn't a situation unfamiliar to me. Those with a higher standing than me could have terminated me at any time. For a while there were measures they put in place to do so.
What I did was... try to make sure that I wasn't a burden.
So. I understand that isn't a helpful answer. None of you are a burden. To us or to God.
[ they hesitate because they feel like this might be unprofessional or will come back to bite them later. but they really want to be honest, and to be able to give answers, so: ]
I was thinking something like a glitch. Not that this is a simulation, but—the general idea. A small flaw somewhere that corrupts core processes.
You should stay focused on your redemption. Plenty of glitches don't repeat; they're one-offs. And we're going to be hyper-vigilant until we've figured out exactly what caused that.

no subject
But I don't have an alternate explanation because I don't know.

... My answer to that won't satisfy you. You should do what you think is right, not what I've done historically.

Well. Hopefully we aren't to the mysterious other entity that set this up, either.

I'm just... I'm not sure that there is another entity.

Something like that could have a ripple effect.

Is that - something from the future...?

It's like... having gears out of alignment. Just one little bump throws the entire functionality off.

[ which surely will work. in a mg. ]

When you do uncover what happened, I'd like to hear.

You have the right to know.
