[Sothis smiled - it was a rather bitter, wry thing.]
Can you blame me...? All I have experienced from you mortals is exploitation and betrayal. What kernel of goodness that glints in your souls is swallowed up by that plague called greed. Not even in death have I been granted rest because of you...!
[Though, that fault lay more in her daughter than the humans, but they are the ones who slavishly followed Rhea's guiding hand, allowing them to exhume her spirit in the name of their religion. She had been a god, but she had never been their god - and now an entirely fictional entity had taken her name and face, a false idol for the humans of Fódlan to uselessly pray to. Had encouraged Rhea to conduct her insane experiments to bring her back to life - if what Byleth's sire said was true.
It was vexing.]
The only human who has my trust is Byleth, and even then, that trust is born of both necessity and shared blood. The rest of you exist outside my grace.
