Between Gods and Mortals
Homura
"Between Gods and Mortals are all sins... That's the skeptical truth that the Gods believe. But of course, that's all nonsense. The Gods sin as well. The hypocrisy. Even the greatest of Gods commit sins—but what do Gods regard their filthy faults as? Perpetual sacrifice. While men's sins—the mistakes of the surface dwellers of the earth, subjacent to our Heavens—may be those be done for unrighteousness or misanthropy, it's plainly called a sin."
" Yet, when the Gods sin, they could never accept their faults, never they could admit them. They're much too judgmental of the humans; giving their precious time to critique—such unjustifiable resentments—the sins of humanity. Never themselves. They don't even see that Nataku's sacrifice was but a sin. A grave sin."
"On the contrary, Nataku's sacrifice was a sin, yes, for he had killed legions, and legions of men and demons—maybe even Gods—but it wasn't his choice to do so. He was just a child used by the Gods for their sake, never his. Never for a heretic like me. Thus, his sacrifice was a proof of the sins of the Gods."
"Sinners! All of us are sinners! Every living creature—all of us a breath of evil."
"Humans. Yes, humans. They are the epitome of sins and atrocities."
"Isn't it the reason why we Gods should never touch them? Their filthiness? A pathetic reason. But very apparent for anything that would go between a God and a mortal is an inexcusable crime."
"Yet in the case of Sanzo's crew, it's an excuse."
"Well, if my love for Rinrei is a crime, then, I shall presume that the Goddess of Mercy's infatuation with the monk Genjo Sanzo as a greater demoralization."
"Yes, Rinrei and I are sinners..."
"And perhaps, we are sins."
"But..."
"...Our love wasn't."
