This is a question I have yet to see asked on this network, though I only have the slightest hypothesis of why.

How have you viewed religion or faith from your home? Has it changed drastically before coming here, or since?

I have been thinking about this lately...

Would it not fall upon their most ardent believers, one who knew them personally, to carry on their will?

[ Guess who's feeling a lot of personal investment... ]

But what if even they lose their way? What would you say to such people?

ardent belief means little in the face of aging and sickness and war
Humans are so very fragile

[ someone who lost their way, huh? It makes Hanyuu think of her daughter ]

in a hypothetical scenario? remind them of their beginnings, perhaps
what drew them to their faith in the first place

[ Would her mother say that to her? Maybe she would.

Rhea figured that, ultimately, her goal had been keeping the peace, to forge the bonds between humans and the Nabateans.

It would be a while before Rhea replied again. ]

I see. Thank you for that. While I wish I knew that before, there's still a future ahead.

[aumygoddess]

ah?

[ Hanyuu takes a minute to reply, herself. There's something about Rhea's response that jabs her right in the heart. ]

I hope your future is happier than your past seems to have been, Rhea-san
