They love You very much! Gamaliel loves them very much too, it is quite charming... I've learned much from spending time in all of their presence. The dogs and the Angels alike.
You are most welcome - it is the very least that I can do. Though... by my journey - the journey I have taken to this point here, with the end goal of redemption? Of my life? Or both?
...It is, yes. Truthfully...I feel quite selfish in considering that I could potentially not return. I fear desperately for what will become of Iria - time has continued to march on as I have spent my time here, and I'm afraid to see what the Bishop has done in - well. Perhaps I ought not speak of that to You, necessarily...
At any rate. I love my people very dearly: I do not want harm to come to them. They have suffered everlong under the thumb of the Papal States. I do not wish to be like my late mother and father were. I do not want for power or money, or any of it. But, if I must take any kind of power to help Iria, then... I would. Yet, if I return - what will I be able to do, from her cage? Will it make Iria better? Princess Innana - does she even still live? And even more selfishly... I have come to cherish my freedom. And the people here want me to seek it, too. I do not know what is better, what is worse. What is for myself, and what is for my country. What the Light of Sanctuary would call redemption, and what I might.
...I suppose that is the reflection that I am the most occupied with, in the twilight of this experience. To me, it feels like a journey... far more of one than my life was to this point.
I'm glad. They could use people to spend time with them and understand them. The dogs and the Angels alike. Your journey is your journey. While I meant the one being taken to this point with the end goal od redemption, I think that also includes your life because the events of your life have shaped you to where you want to go. I take no offense to judgments made against people who do not actually act in the name of religion and carry a false title. The fact of the matter is this. Your life has already ended and brought you to this domain. The project was meant to give you a means to try and earn a chance to return, should you wish to take it. But there is nothing wrong with deciding that this is enough. The world will continue as it were, and you could begin your next chapter here. I will not sway anyone one way or another. That is what this eight weeks has been for, to search and decide what may be best for you and see your full potential.
