Yes. I am certain. We were all made to fight whoever was there, Emet-Selch. And some of those people we didn't know turned out to be people others knew. Kumon said that I killed...I killed his brother. I didn't even know.
[..............]
Whatever. Regardless, thinking about it...I don't think those people were real. The only "real" people were us six. For example, earlier, we had seen Chinatsu in a cage, and yet here she is, and she doesn't recall a thing. That place played tricks with our mind.
Unfortunately...yes. I can't argue with that. Human beings are...those who can commit the worst crimes, but also do the kindest deeds. Everyone has that capability, even those who seek to be good and repent their sins.
[There's something that....seems to shut down in her eyes, like a shade being pulled over a window.]
Perhaps you'd say something like..."humans are wont to try". [...] God is forgiving. Some people believe in that, in seeking divine judgement, and divine absolution. But sometimes even that's not enough. Still, one has to go on, sins or not.
[hm. he watches her face, there, quiet a few moments.]
I have read some of your religious traditions, but I do not understand the focus on these gods of yours. One ought to focus on what they have done for the world during their life, rather than on what comes after, or whether such a figure shall offer them forgiveness.

I suppose all humans truly may have it within them, when they find a need for it.

Do you have any regrets, Emet-Selch?

[She's sincere about that.]
But let me tell you...try not to do anything you regret. It eats you from the inside. And I wouldn't wish that on anyone.
