Some philosopher from where I came from said that 'religion is the opiate of the masses' or something like that. Some people love being controlled and having their moral code dictated to them. Means they don't have to think. Means they know who to be afraid of and who to trust. Unfortunately for me, Christianity is prevalent enough in my world's culture that when I ascended, I knew exactly what to expect. I was the automatic villain, or the idol of every wannabe edgelord.
[There's a spark of disappointment or frustration in her eye before she shrugs it off and uses the other half of Poe's bench as a footrest, her hands folded over her stomach.]
