[Gods are here. Shinki - that word again. She feels nothing, not even confusion: it's like she's so high on complete bafflement and horror that she's gone numb. It's got to be that she can't get her head round it, and why would she, anyway? It's... it's not like any of this is even reasonable! Hi, Aya, nice to meet you, your parents are dead and your brother is gone, your home is a smoking ruin oh and by the way you're a deity. Have a nice evening. And happy birthday.
[An hour ago, she'd known none of this. If she stops to think about it, if she does absolutely anything that isn't just turn the whole immense, impossible mess of it over and over in incomprehension, Aya thinks she'll probably go under completely. Any single piece - her brother, her parents, her life - would be enough to overwhelm her, but the whole?]

I... was kind of hoping it was.
[Keep it together, Aya. You can cry tomorrow.]
