Are you sure Jesus Christ isn't a wizard?

[........]

We didn't see 'em durin' the masquerade.

[What happened to them?]

[greatdeduction]

...Maybe the daemons were destroyed, turned into Dust, and...consumed? Absorbed?

Remember, they did say that on Alisaie and Van Ziek's adventure, that Lord Regent attempted to attack Alisaie's daemon....

[perfectdistance]

's there somethin' special about daemons that the Angels need?

[Disce pokes her head out of Nero's shirt collar.]

...

[He thinks for a moment, before pulling out a paper from his satchel.]

[He hands it over.]

[It reads:]

[Therefore, we have no choice but to believe that the presence of this "Dust" is naught but evidence for the original sin that caused humanity to stray from the path of light. If it is at all possible to find our way back, the secret must lie in this Dust, and how to eradicate it. Una ecclesia super omnibus]

The last one is..."one ecclesia above all". Ecclesia being...a sort of community. Christianity can be considered an ecclesia.

[Nero can read all of this without an issue. But he does appreciate a second opinion about it.]

The original sin... that's Allen's story about the Garden and free will, right? I think there was somethin' about eradicating "gold" in a note in Camebit too.

[greatdeduction]

Yes, that's exactly it.

[He hums.]

Mankind sins, and...therefore Dust is created? It seems rather confounding,

[perfectdistance]

So dust is proof of free will?

[Does that even make sense?]

'nd somebody wants to get rid of it to go... back to the garden?
