You claim the Creator does not chastise us, does not emerge, out of love. Out of a desire to protect us from being found by the Other.

I do not believe you.

The Creator betrayed His purpose the moment He consumed the First World in a craven attempt to prolong His lifespan. He does not make a grand work of it, northerner, because He is afraid of a rematch. He cannot win against this Great Other - and thus, we must stand against it alone.

He does not love us. He does not acknowledge our existence or thought, else He would have given us Free Will without being cajoled into it by Truth. He chooses non-intervention out of a desire to ensure that the monument to His escape and existence remains untouched.

All of us - mortal and immortal alike - are trophies. Possessions. Objects. Proof of His survival.

Nothing else.

Do not fool yourself into thinking He loves you - that's what the Mirror was for.
