[ it’s this guy again. although he seems considerably less sad than he did the last time he appeared on the network to talk about accidental sympathy with the oracles of the sinless, that may not be the best thing in the world once he begins speaking. he's also wearing small angel wings, visible in the view of the camera—they're definitely fake accessories, however, rather than being a moonblessing or even a more permanent effect of the bracelet. ]

…hello.

[ he's nervous? he's nervous, and his shoulders fidget slightly. he can't look at the camera. ]

There’s been a lot of people asking about churches. [ ah. ] …I am a member of one that recently opened. It is… a re-establishment of the Order I used to belong to in my world before.

[ it isn't a ringing endorsement, but it is the truth. ]

We don’t worship any god. It is an order that focuses on the internal self and what people are capable of. A man named the Archangel is our leader. If you’ve met him… um, anyway, please come by.

[ and included, information about the Order of Malkuth, located in a primo spot on level one. go ahead, join the cult. ]

I heard about a different church, brother, but I am not sure I have heard of it before. Were there other churches in our world...?

[passio]

[ oh, this is something dextera can answer without feeling bad at all. his brother’s question is a welcome reprieve. though sinistra uses just the voice function, dextera offers him a patient smile through the video. ]

Yes. There used to be many religions before the Blaze.

[bisection]

Really? Did they all worship Her?

[passio]

[ dextera shakes his head. ]

Not all of them. Some of them worshiped Her without knowing that it was Her they worshiped. They looked for the concept of a God, and what many found were only fragments of the truth.

[bisection]

Is that so... it must be sad to be a person who was not close to her. Who could not hear her song.

[passio]

[ it’s funny. although dextera was the one with the heart and the living body, it was really his brother with the power—sinistra, and dextera’s own delusions of being his brother, was always the closest to god in all her forms. he was “god” before dextera ever even conceived of it. ]

People satisfied themselves with what they had. It’s sad, but… I envy not knowing, too.

[bisection]

Do you regret it...? Hearing her song?

[passio]

Do I…?

[ no one has ever asked. no one would even know to ask. so the question gives dextera pause, and he frowns. ]

I… don’t know. I wonder if it wouldn’t have been easier without her.

[bisection]

... Perhaps for you. Perhaps it would have been.

[ He would have died either way, wouldn't he? But his brother would have suffered less. Perhaps been unburdened of him earlier in their life. ]
