    Summary

    Everyone is born in Sin.

    The first doctrine is Penance. Father used to say that suffering is the only way to earn your existence, and that the darkness will always demand its due.

    The second doctrine is Repentance. Back then, it meant weeping for your flaws and obeying who knew better than you. Being here, I am learning that it can also mean accepting you are allowed to survive.

    The final doctrine, Salvation. On Eden, it was something given only to the dead. It took me a long time to see the truth, that salvation isn't a gift. It's something you have to build for yourself.

     

    Or

     

    Grace and Rocky are Saviors of the Universe. They don't have any business tainting their halos with blood.

    Summary

    Simon had never been sure whether it was better to be awake or asleep. Being awake meant facing the horrible reality of the Quiet Rapture and of his prison sentence, not knowing when he might be killed to spare resources...or become resources.
    Meanwhile, sleep meant being haunted with nightmares made up of his past sins and trials.

    That is, until he started dreaming of an angel.

    “How should I repay you?”

     

    Grace waved him off. “Oh, no need for that. You don’t owe me anything.”

     

    “I owe you everything.”
