It wasn't anything special, really.
When you think about it really hard, you realize that a lot of the things you do aren't going anywhere, no matter how much you want it to.
I realized that a little too late. Well, not THAT late, thankfully- thanks more to the fact that I had a second chance more than anything, but, oh well, can't have everything in life can't you ?
I was in kind of a big situation, since I woke up in that alleyway. My first thought was, "what the hell I am doing in an alleyway in the middle of who know where ?" My second -and more pressing thought was something like- "Oh shit it's an explosion".
To say I was terrified was an understatement, yet I calmed down almost immediately and unconsciously thought, "Ah, it's just an explosion, probably someone wanting to test their guardian gun somewhere or something like that."
That kind of thought shocked me a little.
Scratch that, it shocked me a whole lot, until I thought about it harder.
Then I started to remember.
At first, a jumble mess. Then, two different visions. Finally, my reflexion on the window next to me, peerless even in such a remote alleyway.
"... This ... is me ?" A stupid question, of course it's you.
I woke up.

Well, this is new ?
I remember pretty much everything now, and understand my condition a little bit better.
Well, more like I can see it from a mile away
"... This is just another shitty isekai story"
Well, considering how much I read and watched those trash isekai, (and enjoyed them) I could understand what the hell was happening a little bit faster than your average person. Still a shock tho.
After thinking about it a little more, I decided that it would be better to just walk outside of this alleyway to explore a little, my memory as the kid telling me what I needed to know and where I was, and while the treatment of those of my kind are better now days thanks to the new pope, I'm not staying here for my whole life, and I REALLY don't want to get an annoying overseer.
While yes, Suffering is doing her job as a chosen overseer correctly, and Mostima is essentially the worst person you could be stuck trying to oversee in the history of, pretty much ever, I don't want to be watched 24/7.
So yes, I'm leaving Laterno.
Which is the place I'm in if the pristine condition of, well, everything, and the explosion in the background weren't good enough.
Oh, and my halo is also a good starting point.
My horns too I guess. Since I'm a fallen and all that jazz.
How, you ask ? Well, it's pretty simple.
Sankta "Law" is way too vague.
It depends on the person, and while its value what the community view as a sin, it depends on what said sin is about and more importantly the magnitude and of the consequences of said sin.
Take me for example : as a reincarnated atheist, my inherently non-pious nature works againt me here.
Although that alone shouldn't make me fall enough that horns start to grow.
The main reason for such a huge reaction is that, from my perspective, this "Law" is a tyrant.
It imposes biased law and order that, while conforming to the instinctual thought of the masses, still impose it without batting an eye.
Well, if it HAD an eye that is. The "Law" is more of a metaphysical thing that link Sankta together.
It's what makes "Empath" work in the first place. Well, not for me anyway, since I'm out of this thing.
You can imagine all Sankta as a giant Hivemind really. With the "Law" at its center.
While it is more complicated than that, what I'm trying to say is, the "Law" rejects me because I can't accept it.
So I fell. And oh boy, fell hard I did.
My Sarkaz feature were already all over the place and I can't even cover my- at this point- pitch black halo.
At least I won't have trouble sleeping at night with the glorified light bulb, with how dim it is.
My pointy horns still peek through a little from my large coat.
More than you would guess from a 13 years old anyway.
It seems like I should probably wait a few years before leaving. My body is way too weak to endure the trip, even if it's for a small while.

I could try to see the main cast of Sankta in RI (Rhodes Island) while they are still young, and get them as friends.
Thanks to my second set of memory, I know when I am. The year being 1071. Which should align perfectly if I want to play around with the future.
The question is do I want to.
I should consider the implication of the butterfly effect. My extra info from my past life will not be as accurate if I don't follow canon...
Alternatively, waifus.

I'm sure you already guessed correctly what little care I had for such things.
My motto in life is dying without regret ! So let's see how this world handles my brand of chaos ! Ahah !
