The Hierophant

[Ereshikiga]

I told her we'd ascend together.
It was a nice thought.
At the time; it made sense to me.

I mean, my greatest ally -
My greatest asset -
Receiving a reward equal to the entertainment she brought.
Why wouldn't I try to follow through on that?
It made sense.

I have been told a fair few times that demons can't comprehend bonds.
I don't, in some ways.
I don't comprehend family.
My first memories are of eating my siblings.
My first memories are of trying to eat mankind.
My first memories are of selfish desires.
Hunger.

And yet; For so long, I've been angry.
Wrathful, over the loss of another.
Why the hel do I care?
Why the hel does it matter to me?

Ascending has only brought me more questions.
I am closer to imperfection.
Yet, the closer I grow -
The more I realize...
I understand nothing.

Fate truly loves mocking me.
