β iβve begun to understand why god died . β
β Β what Β part Β of Β it Β do Β you Β even Β understand...? Β β Β Β as always, Β claudine Β lets Β out Β a Β sigh. Β she Β looks Β on, Β suspicious Β and Β a Β tiny Β bit Β perplexed.
claudineΒ imaginesΒ it:Β Β theΒ devil,Β Β piercingΒ theΒ holyΒ andΒ incomprehensibleΒ corpseΒ withΒ aΒ knifeΒ forgedΒ fromΒ sin.Β theΒ ruler,Β alreadyΒ onΒ theirΒ knees,Β ichorΒ drippingΒ downΒ likeΒ theirΒ skinβsΒ theΒ mostΒ grandioseΒ fountainΒ knownΒ toΒ man.Β ah,Β man.Β theΒ accomplice,Β Β isΒ heΒ not?Β distractingΒ theΒ supremeΒ oneβsΒ many,Β manyΒ eyesΒ withΒ aΒ facadeΒ ofΒ goodness untilΒ theyβdΒ letΒ theirΒ guardΒ down.Β Β betrayalΒ isΒ inΒ theΒ natureΒ ofΒ man,Β Β theΒ potentialΒ forΒ goodΒ andΒ forΒ evilΒ settingΒ theΒ sceneΒ forΒ potentialΒ trickery.Β thatβsΒ notΒ evil.Β evenΒ godΒ hadΒ liedΒ once.Β the grandiosity of it allβsΒ likeΒ theΒ renaissanceΒ paintingsΒ claudineΒ hadΒ beenΒ ableΒ toΒ seeΒ sinceΒ sheΒ wasΒ aΒ child,Β butΒ onlyΒ toΒ aΒ fault.Β noneΒ ofΒ themΒ hadΒ daredΒ toΒ blaspheme.Β noneΒ ofΒ themΒ wereΒ claudine.
sheΒ wantsΒ toΒ beΒ theΒ one toΒ holdΒ thatΒ blade,Β Β grippingΒ itΒ andΒ slowly, Β painfully,Β Β pushingΒ itΒ inΒ further.Β theΒ bloodΒ onΒ herΒ handsΒ wouldΒ beΒ theΒ mostΒ cleansingΒ absolution.Β Β sheΒ wonβtΒ beΒ theΒ devilβsheβdΒ beΒ theΒ oneΒ toΒ usurpΒ him.
andΒ weΒ allΒ knowΒ whoΒ βgodβΒ is.
sheΒ doesnβtΒ letΒ mayaΒ answer, Β then. Β claudineΒ daresΒ toΒ guess.Β Β Β βΒ Β whatβdΒ beΒ Β hisΒ lastΒ words?Β Β β
