If Atem.... If Atem didn't get it right, it could backfire.
[ Annie sucks her lips in as if she swallowed a lemon for a moment before letting them pop out. ]
So there are two main texts we read from when we're studying our faith. The Old and New Testament. With the Old Testament? There is a lot in there about His wrath. He turned a city of people who weren't just sinners, but truly awful people, into pillars of salt. Like. Nothing was left but salt.
That's the kind of wrath we have to be careful about invoking.
[ She lets that sink in for a moment. ]
I think you're angry because you have given so much to keeping Atem alive. You love him. I also think you never had time to really process what that kind of love means.
I.... I loved my friends dearly. Thankfully, we were mostly equals, so they could call me out on my shit. In your case, with him? There's a power semblance. That's a fact. Which... means he may not really understand that for you his actions do have consequences.
