[ Quetzalcoatl closes her eyes and rests the weight of her head on his just a bit. This isn’t where she expected this conversation to end up at all, but in a way, it’s easier.

She runs her fingers lightly along the skin above his Shard like it’s a motion meant to soothe him, but it’s probably just as much for herself. Her domains and duties could sometimes be a contradiction, because as a god of life, she reflexively recoils from the idea of using her Noble Phantasm so destructively… But it wasn’t as if she wouldn’t. ]

So, Set is right, isn’t he? If they can’t have peace, then they have to be something for Zenites to believe in. That’s what she’s been trying to be by warmly giving them her love and protection, but that’s not enough. They won’t let themselves yearn for a future, so she has to seize it for them. Then, when that time comes, it’s up to them what they do with it. ]
I can do it. We’ll let the sun’s light reach even the darkest parts of Highstorm. I can be the beacon, and you just make sure to take care of them in the shade, okay?
