[Shun's hard correction stops her. It takes her a second to realize what she said and another to understand the part he's correcting, and when it sinks in, there's only a soft laugh fading into a sigh.]

I'm not sure I'm a good person most of the time either. What I do as a shinki, what I do as a person, I suppose it's all tied up in each other.

[Yet that's not correct either. Ginia knows to some degree it's easy putting duty ahead of her feelings. Be a good shinki, focus on serving a god, it's the line every shinki is fed on their first day. For awhile, it was easy latching onto it as a sense of direction and purpose and ignoring the greater horrors.

These days, her direction and purpose fall elsewhere. Helping people, making the world better, protecting the people she cares about, those are the things she wants to do as an individual. If it aligns with being a shinki and a greater purpose, so be it.

But it's not a just world, not when people are pulled from their own, when shinki are made from the dead and have little choice.]


It's a world that favors gods, ultimately. If it didn't, the old gods wouldn't be so upset about nora.
