[It is a much, much longer time before he responds to this all. Mostly because it's a lot. It is a far cry from the tales of God and the Devil. It's a unique sort of back and forth.
Still, his mind conjures something to compare it to, this friendship that slipped into enmity. He thinks of Ernesto, who he always hoped cared some bit of him until he learned of the poisoning. He thinks of Dodger, who'd always cared, who cared so deep, who would weep for his pain, and then in the next breath, cause him more than he'd ever felt before with vicious glee.]
That is both illuminating and much more complicated.
If we believe all this, and I'm sort of inclined to, we were called here to replace the winged one then. It sounds like a bird and a worm. And if we were to placate the crawling one, it would either be by letting it mow down all the rest, or somehow bringing back its friend.
[Both are solid non-options.]
Thank you for sharing this. Even if there's no telling what it means now, it could be important in the future.
