Wylan “commit to the bit” Van Eck

I'd be willing and able

Mattias’s devotion to Djel never truly wavers, even as the foundations of everything he was taught are dismantled, his faith isn’t abandoned but rather recontextualized. In his final moments, he does not interpret his suffering as a betrayal by God. Instead, he recognizes cruelty as a human failing, not a divine one. In refusing to blame Djel, Mattias separates belief from the institutions and ideologies that corrupted it, holding onto a faith that remains intact even as his worldview collapses.

Similarly, Inej’s devotion to her saints persists through profound trauma and moral compromise. She continues to pray even while performing acts she knows would be condemned by doctrine, trusting that her saints are capable of compassion and understanding. Her faith is not about absolution, but about being seen. Inej believes her saints understand intent, context, and survival, that holiness can coexist with bloodied hands when the alternative is annihilation.
