[ Hanyuu was afraid of being attached? Hanyuu, who loved everyone and was loved in return. Hanyuu, who wanted to look out for everyone and took all their sins. Hanyuu, who Elda was certain had in his heart forgiven or at least intended to do well for the soul of even Yoshikage Kira? The whole idea of that was laughable to her to the point that he eyes widen a little, and her tongue begs to speak those words.
... But then she realizes.
Hanyuu Furude - no, rather, Hai=Ryuun Ieasomuuru Jeda was a god. And Elda Marker, who hates gods, might not necessarily believe in this, but a god forgives. A god takes in sin, a god judges, but a god protects their people. These people were her people, and a god would do everything they could for those people. At least a just god. At least... a fair god. A god like Hanyuu.
But by definition, a god was apart from those people. A god could pretend as much as they wanted, but there was a difference between an ape and human and even if all peoples share the same souls, the duties and burdens of a god must be unknowable to a mere mortal. And so a god could not play favorites even if they wanted to, only render judgement. At least... ideally.
And so. To be attached was something else. It was the ultimate extension of something Elda had said weeks and weeks ago. A mortal cannot fall in love with a god, and the love between a god and a lesser being might as well be the love between a fish and a giraffe.
... But they were equals, weren't they?
... She doubts Hanyuu thinks even half of this, on some level, but Elda Marker chooses that to be her "truth." ]
