Even I recognize that I'm not being a proper role model right now. But I need you to understand. As your mother, it's my duty to protect you from the evil intentions of whoever did this...and I'll become a demon if I have to. That's all there is to it.

It is very easy to destroy something. And very difficult to repair it again. Magic is much the same way. Magic that destroys and kills is very simple to master. Weak witches who fall victim to the temptations of easy power, therefore, grow lax in their study of true magic. The true magic is the ability to repair. The power to revive. That which calls back joy that has been shattered. That which brings back warmth to love gone cold. […] The world of humanity is full of separation, loss, and mourning. Everyone lives their lives seeking the means to evade or bear that sadness. But for a witch with the power to endlessly regenerate, any concept of destruction or decay no longer applies. The Endless Witch is free of all worldly suffering, certain of eternal bliss.

And engagement is a vow to not wake up for your whole life from that misunderstanding.

Bread fell down from heaven.
Some lamented loudly that the bread was not meat.
Meat fell down from heaven.
Some lamented loudly that they preferred the bread.
God came down from heaven.
He will make water fall down for a time, until everyone knows what will make them happy.
Rain fell down from heaven.
Everyone lamented loudly that their clothing became wet.
Flames fell from heaven.
Everyone lamented loudly that their houses had been burned.
God came down from heaven.
He will make nothing fall from heaven, until everyone knows what will make them happy.
Nothing fell down from heaven.
Some lamented loudly that God had forsaken them.
All manner of things fell down from heaven.
Some lamented loudly that God should be more selective in what he sent.
Boulders rained down from heaven.
Now the lamentations finally ceased.
Rain fell down from heaven.
passing travelers expressed their gratitude.
"God, we thank thee for the unexpected weather.
Now we can carry on our long journey and enjoy the break from the monotony."
God saw them off without a word.
As it should be. Gods and dice are best when silent.
