[Rin acknowledges Quetz's struggle with a nod. How funny. While Rin doesn't view Quetzalcoatl's existence as a reason to doubt her atheism, it's still odd to chat with her like this. A supernal being, a god being a class of 'creature' that is simply stronger and longer lived, rather than omniscient. Rin likes her, though. In spite of? Or perhaps because of it. Quetz had the overwhelming positivity that Tohsaka would usually scold most Meridian's for, but in contrast Quetzalcoatl embraced the harsh realities. Quetz was positive in the face of those realities rather than as an attempt to reject them.
Rin respects that. Sees her own inferiority in that. As "just a human" she cannot be so soundly contrary. The contrarian in her is volatile, unstable, and prone to its own breaking point. How many lifetimes would a girl like her have to live to find such peace? Well, if she did kill her sister then perhaps all the lifetimes in the world would not be enough.
Rin plucks her own shard from its spot at the hollow of her neck. Its ruby red color currently lacking the brilliance it once had. Compared to Quetzalcoatl's shard, Rin's is but a drop in the ocean. Small and inconsequential no matter how unique others may perceive it to be.]
Would you like to go first, or shall I?
[Either one might be a mistake. Tohsaka doesn't anticipate wavering in her ideals, but the sheer density of Quetz's soul and the depth of which she holds may shake even the sturdiest of non-believers.]
