Here’s a question for you all: what do you think about death?

Considering the recent murders, I’d say it’s something to think about, isn’t it?

It truly brings in the question of whether or not death plays a relevant role here. People seem to be able to come back to life, but seems to go from god to shinki or even shinki to god. Regardless of the reason for the change in reversal, it seems that one element in particular remains missing: memories.

I’m curious as to why memories seem to be the important element in deciding between a god and a shinki aside from the obvious.

So, here’s another question: how many of you were previously shinki who became a god? If you don’t remember your time as a shinki, would you want those memories back?

Erasing memories to force shinki to become dependent on their god is a dirty move. It speaks of no trust earned but trust that is forced to be had.

But thank you for answering my first question, Dali.

Yes, it is. I think it also says that the gods cannot trust their servants any other way. The shinki are not ignorant children.

I'd argue with you on that account given that I have seen shinki that are children here; however, treating a vast majority of us as the same will only breed anger and that alone can start to cause unrest amongst us.

[stonebird]

The children I have met are not ignorant. (She is not far out of childhood herself.) We do not need unrest. Heaven, at least, should be calm.

[lostinshadows]

You would think, but Heaven is anything but calm.

[stonebird]

I do not accept that as natural.
