[It's always useful to bring this particular topic up quickly, in Hakkai's opinion. Stinging your goddess before you even have a chance to make it back to her temple -- which he had absolutely done -- is embarrassing.]

If you feel that you've done something wrong, the guilt can cause "blight." It's a purple mark on your skin, and your god will have a matching mark.

We don't feel it, but it causes gods pain.
