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?

[Another long pause; the other end needs a few minutes to calm down and realise nobody's coming to punish her. The text is still a bit disordered.]

I don't think it should be a reward not to suffer. That isn't fair.

[reverentresistance]

It's about facing the consequences of your actions.

[mother_of_god]

But the unfaithful didn't do anything!!!

[reverentresistance]

They don't believe.

[mother_of_god]

Anyone that wants to torture them because of that is cruel!

[reverentresistance]

Perhaps in your opinion, but you have to remember that God wants them to believe.

[mother_of_god]

You can't force someone to believe like that. It isn't fair.

[reverentresistance]

But belief is better than not believing.

[mother_of_god]

Not when She wants you to do mean things to people.

[reverentresistance]

That's not a belief related thing. He wouldn't ask that of you, so you've been asked to believe in a false God.

[mother_of_god]

But He will still hurt people.

How do you know yours isn't false? How do you know any god isn't false?

I know God is real because she was in me and made things happen. Does yours do that?

[reverentresistance]

We hurt ourselves.

I know that the God I worship is the only true God.

[mother_of_god]

How do you know?

[reverentresistance]

I just do!

[Ky's done with this conversation, now, walking away from the vine she was using.]

[mother_of_god]

[A final bit of ashy parchment unfurls toward her back.]

I'm sorry.

I just wanted to understand.
