The Queen's power has to be less than God's... So why do you think He lets us be brought here? This goes a little beyond giving us free will, don't you think?

[Ky's unsure herself, but there's no way to gain certainty. She can only find out what other people are thinking, and that for some reason feels particularly important.]

What purpose are we serving here?

[reverentresistance]

You're very much mistaken. And "my" God is the only one.

[ritsu_kouyou]

I disagree. There are many religions and therefore many gods. If any of them are indeed real, they care no more for us as we do for the pieces on a chess board.

[reverentresistance]

There is only one true God. If there are false ones, then of course I'd expect them not to care.

[ritsu_kouyou]

And how has your god shown it cares about you?

[reverentresistance]

He has. He sent His son to redeem us.

[ritsu_kouyou]

Redeem you for what?

[reverentresistance]

From our sins and to eternal salvation.

[ritsu_kouyou]

And what sins are those?

[She sounds so bland as she asks this.]

[reverentresistance]

The sin kind. Lust, greed, sloth, envy...

[ritsu_kouyou]

And you personally have committed all of these? Seems very improper for a person of faith.

[reverentresistance]

More of them then I should have, but certainly not all of them.

[ritsu_kouyou]

...you know, I don't have the patience to argue this with you.

Gods don't care and I refuse the notion that there is only one god. I suggest not attempting to shove your faith down the throats of those that don't agree with it.

[reverentresistance]

If you didn't like what I was suggesting then you didn't have to engage me in it.

[ritsu_kouyou]

I engaged you because you're wrong. I don't remain silent when I see someone being wrong.

[reverentresistance]

Except that in this situation you're simply mistaken!

[ritsu_kouyou]

No, I'm not.

And this is where we get to the point again where I don't have the patience to argue with you. You're welcome to your misguided faith. Just keep it to yourself.

[reverentresistance]

[Ky might huff a little, but if Akiha is going to call her misguided then she's not in a mindset where she'll be convinced. Even if it would be better if she did.]

[ritsu_kouyou]

Exactly.

[Akiha then dismisses the mirror.]
