[jiho is probably the last one who'd judge, regardless of the story. he waits, actually turning his body in his chair so that he's facing rook more. like this conversation is deliberate.
it is. and that...that's progress.
it's still sinking in that rook was once human. yes, a long time ago, but still human. like his mother. like his younger brother. mortal. vulnerable. a target of some curse, maybe. a scorned lover. a jealous husband. it's easy to imagine that being the reason for what rook is now.
instead he talks about mistakes and punishment, things he can't even remember doing, so what's the fucking point to his punishment?]
And...you're the one who gets punished?
[jiho's incredulous - no, he's pissed.]
Who punished you? A god? [jiho scowls as he says the words, standing for his chair to circle around the table, ultimately coming to stand before the demon.] A god who lets wars happen. Who tears families apart and lets innocent people die. And you, who were probably a nobody in the grand scheme of things, who doesn't even make a good fucking demon anyway because you're too likable. You get punished.
[jiho snorts and shakes his head.]
I fucking hate everything. I hope I kill enough people to get this god's attention.
