How would you define the word monster?

[A few recent conversations have gotten her thinking about certain things and she's genuinely curious about the answers she might get. Cardia is well aware that there are a few people who do know her secret and could probably guess that this is from her. But she's not brave enough to ask something like this without anonymity to hide behind.]

And how would you address it?

Justice must be seen to and those responsible for committing crimes must be held accountable.

And what sort of justice do you think monsters deserve?

Simply - death. But if there is humanity left in them, other punishments can be considered.

How could you tell whether there was humanity in them?
Is it possible for something that was never human in the first place to have it?

They will display empathy, kindness or other traits that fly in the face of being monstrous.

I suppose so, yes.

So through kindness and empathy, a monster could be redeemed?

Possibly. Second chances do exist.

That is a nice thought.
I certainly hope it's true.

The truth is crafted by us. If you wish to make it so, you have all the power you need.

That is very inspiring.
Thank you.

I believe it. (That realization is what gives her strength as a goddess.)
