The fallen angel's brows furrow (though that expression, too, looks almost fragile on her).
"Scars are proof of survival. She is one... who can survive being broken—usually."
Another thing you realize, about Leli: even if you were in a dark and empty time, a hurting time, a ruined and compromised time in your life; even if you understood one day that you had failed, that you had wasted yourself and your opportunities—even then, she would always be with you. Whether or not you wanted her to be.
"But right now... she does not have every fragment. She is not...whole."
"What is broken is never remade exactly as it once was. I am not... what I once was. "But none are less worthy for having been changed, or having been broken. We are all... impure, and beloved."
A pause. "...Yet there is hole in the heart of Kiri, Temptation of Angels, Cut Through All Foes. In that emptiness, there is only... 𝓝ot."
Once again, there is that strange sense of her voice being overlaid with another's.

Re: CHANCEL LELI
[ that's. uncomfortable, in a way, maybe because...
...well, should a fallen angel feel like what God is supposed to be? ]
...what is she missing, then?
Re: CHANCEL LELI
She looks at you again. "But it cannot exist here."
At the base of the stone, another snowdrop pushes up through the soil.
Re: CHANCEL LELI
The sort of thing that can't be remade quite the same way again, then.

Re: CHANCEL LELI
Which is to say—as that gentleman over there told me—that which lies outside Creation, which would destroy the world.
...I'd imagine that's hard, for someone who has such wholehearted enthusiasm for everyone and everything she encounters.
