Ginia briefly considered deleting the video, but she is a person with some degree of honor. It'll make the rest of the temple happy, she can accept that. She uploads the video and even sends copies to Kimi's phone and her phone as she listens. It all makes sense. Her generation is certainly closer to humanity so bonds form easier and faster, but it certainly isn't impossible given an immortal lifetime and time together.

The new also spend more time and mingle together, so it's not surprising there are relationships across temples with as many within the same temple. Ginia smiles a little sheepishly, but leans in to Kimi and bumps her head against his. No regrets here either, even if she's still working things out bit by bit.

But as Unmi continues on, it feels like he dumped a bucket of water on her. It takes all of her will and focus to wall up behind a polite and interested smile as old wounds tear open. Ginia pulls away from Kimi as she sets Unmi's phone back on the counter, looking over the selection of drinks, back stiffening as he mentions a relationship between a god and their shinki is considered a sin.

What Heaven feels is different from what her temple feels and the new generation already breaks enough rules left and right. She doesn't judge anyone and their relationship at all. She'd defend many of her friends in a heartbeat if anyone tried to tell them their relationship was wrong.

Ginia silently chokes on old regrets, quashing all her feelings down so it can't bother Ebisu or Chris on such a happy day, casually drinking down rum-spiked punch as easy as water. She's already nora, she's already hiding a dangerous artifact, in league with rogue gods. She's already poison in Heaven's eyes so why not throw on the sin of sleeping with your god for good measure?

Even if she knows her temple wouldn't judge her, she can't risk the possibility they might. It's a sin among others she can bury deep inside and take to her grave. Maybe it's better that way.

Ginia clutches her phone in a vice-grip as she types, smile a bit too poised, eyes a bit too blank.

"Thank you, Unmi, that's all very interesting." As her message plays, she peers at his phone to make sure the video uploaded properly. It did and the comments are already rolling in. "Video is uploaded."
