From the inside out. That is how I remember myself.

From the inside out? That is how you...remember yourself?

I know that I am a soulful being first and foremost. I know that the first step on the road to godhead is understanding that I can exist without an outside, but I cannot exist without an inside.

You are a focused person. Your thoughts are centralized on yourself.

Am I self-centered?

I should ask you: Are you self-centered?

I am the center of my own world.

Then what about me? You can see me as I am. You spared my life. Why, were I reborn, would you spare me again?

I would not be much of a "Goddess" if I could not spare someone else's soul. I would save you.

My soul? Have you spared your own? Do you or your soul know where you want to go?

…I don't know.

If you're a Goddess yourself, then why do you have a God?

…I don't know. Why...how do you know I am a Goddess already? I just want to find a place to belong. Besides, my God, Aradia, is—

What is that? Who is that to you? I've made my own choices, but it looks as though that—"God" is making your choices for you. Are you happy that way? Are you really happy being just a pawn?

…I don't know. I don't know where to find my answers. I may not be supposed to know. I just want you to find your answers on your own.

So you sacrificed yourself, your soul, your future…to spare me?

I don't know. Maybe.

Who are you, really?

A Goddess.

In whose image do you want this world to be made?

…I don't know.

Then what do you know? What do you know about who you are?

I...I know that I am a soulful being. I am a person from the inside out.

And that's what sustains you?

Yes.

Is there anything, anything you desire?

…No…no worldly desires anymore.

Then what do you want?

Harmony. Balance. Bliss. I wish as I have before…a long, long time ago, and a long, long time to come.

Is that why you are my Goddess?

I can only pray.

Whether I am human or demon, I am going to make my own choices regardless. I will follow my own path, I will choose what this world will be, I—will—choose what this world becomes.

I will wait.

You will wait?

I will wait.
