"to godhood, it means you'll be accepting responsibility for that power. And with your consciousness still awake, you have the capability to make *human* mistakes, too." Not that gods don't often, frequently make mistakes themselves, but the human element is a regular wildcard.

Regardless, he shakes his head. "They aren't petty," Aleph refutes, "and the hesitation is greatly warranted. I can't speak to what it means to be a face of God, let alone a god yourself, but the level of power you possess must be nothing short of immense. So, then, for a human to ascend >>

The more Aleph hears, the less he thinks he truly understands, but then... he was always a practical man, rooted in reality where the supernatural struggled to reside. That it comes so easy to Zayin is frustrating, though he *has* spent his whole life in the Center. It makes sense. >>

A... cognitive shadow? Aleph shakes his head. "Nothing of the sort, not really. What... is it?"

Aleph 「アレフ」🏳️‍🌈 @millenniumsmessiah.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

"So, in practical terms..." Aleph crosses his arms, thinking aloud: "You're going to... reclaim this 'throne', and 'purify law'. So, as God, you'll redefine what the law of God means?" That humanity apparently cannot handle governing itself is concerning enough, but... best to hear Zayin out.

Aleph 「アレフ」🏳️‍🌈 @millenniumsmessiah.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

Taking on a more authoritative tone, Aleph takes the reins of the conversation as he suggests, "before we do anything, I need to get the full picture. Even if it takes more than a day, I want you to explain to me... *everything.*" He pauses only briefly enough to shoot a glance toward Seth. >>

Aleph 「アレフ」🏳️‍🌈 @millenniumsmessiah.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

"You do," affirms the Messiah, rightfully indignant over the journey up to this point. All he's done is sacrifice, and now, *now* he finally gets the opportunity to guide, to lead, to help. Zayin sure didn't make it easy, but... maybe now, they can finally wipe the slate clean. >>

"accept Satan into this world? Don't you know how anyone /other/ than me will see this...?" ... A breath. Shorter than simple exhale, but it's no sigh, either. "I have more than just myself to think about, Zayin. So I can't afford to blindly trust anything, anymore." >>

"If you think what you've told me is enough, it's not. And I've spent more than long enough being yanked around by the Center, by the angels, by my own creator - by /Zayin/ - to believe everything I'm told at face value." There is no malice in his voice, but still, he speaks tentatively... >>

His eyes narrow. "I don't know why you're making that assumption... that's not true. I'm asking, because you're still leaving me out of your plan - and I won't agree to *anything* until I know all the details." Turning now to Seth, Aleph speaks plainly. "I want to understand what's happening. >>

in Millennium ever bore witness to Satan's true form, and not every person desires any faces of God, regardless of their intentions. And, for his part, the Messiah remains guarded, not fully bearing his heart on his sleeve even when Zayin shares his own. (He can't. Unless he wants his heart >>

Now, just because Aleph says what he does, doesn't mean that he's fully on-board. Not yet. Whereas Zayin opens with his desire to fully show the world himself, Aleph... "What does it mean... when you say that?" Without a plan, Satan's reappearance could go disastrously. Not a single human >>

Even up on his tiptoes, the rabbit just doesn't quite meet Aleph's ear, so he helpfully bends down at the knees to let him whisper. Dutifully, he nods, then stands back up straight with a knowing and solemn look. "I see... thank you, ah, 'Vanilla'." (He'll have to get used to the >>

"even as Satan, you're still in there. You don't just disappear." Satan's heart. Seth said as much... "And I remember what kind of person you were with the people, when it was just you. The kind of person you were when backed into a corner... you were more than worthy of their trust."

"I can't... say I fully understand, what it is Seth is saying. Nor that I could envision what you saw when you were Satan. But," and here, he speaks deliberately, slowing each word as a tugging memory simultaneously calls away his attention to replay it, "I know... I know that, >>

just yet. He trails off while his gaze falters, picking between man and god in a desperate bid for some clue, some *thing* to jump out at him, to make sense, to say what they both need to hear. Nothing comes, of course. But he'll forge ahead. Surely the words will come if he just keeps talking. >>

100

Aleph 「アレフ」🏳️‍🌈 @millenniumsmessiah.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

... Between Zayin and Seth... they both have different ideas on what being 'Satan' means. And one of them is willing to take them both to the grave for it. ... His blood curdles at the very thought. "Zayin," Aleph starts, though it's clear he doesn't quite know where to go with that thought >>

"And the glasses," Aleph gestures, pointing at himself as though he wore the same pair. "In aesthetics alone you could walk into the Center's research block and pass just fine." ... "You'd fit in quite well there, too," he mumbles.

But he can't let his emotions sway him here, not when he still knows far too little. "Zayin, let me in. Tell me what's going on. Please."

Aleph 「アレフ」🏳️‍🌈 @millenniumsmessiah.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

Still absorbing everything Seth said, Aleph motions to ask, "what does that mean for you? And for this world? Seth said something about you 'dying by your own hand'..." Does Zayin intend to take his own life? Was he... was he planning this the whole time? And right under Aleph's nose, too. >>

Aleph 「アレフ」🏳️‍🌈 @millenniumsmessiah.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

... Then, Aleph's gaze returns to Zayin. His eyes have lost the warmth they held previously; now, where he looks, there's a sense of purpose and finality to them. The same determined look he held the last time he and Zayin worked together, before Seth awoke. There is still need of a savior. >>

"I don't think I have, for the most part," Aleph hums. "Things are hard enough without being misled by those who should be of utmost character. In my position, I would be no better than those who came before me if I wasn't." ... Ah, but they've only just met. No need to weigh down >>

Aleph 「アレフ」🏳️‍🌈 @millenniumsmessiah.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

First, Aleph nods his head to Seth. "Tell me - what does it mean for you two to be Satan? Now especially, in a world where God has been removed from oversight; are you still here to be the judge, or was your soul given respite? Or...?"

000

Aleph 「アレフ」🏳️‍🌈 @millenniumsmessiah.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

confirmation of what was always apparent. The Messiah draws in a huge breath... then lets out an equally massive sigh, taking with his exhalation all the tension that had built up within those couple of seconds. Who to address first...? He's got to play his cards right, here. >>

Zayin stands now, trembling and wilting in Aleph's presence. It's an odd sight; not once had he ever shown an ounce of fear to Aleph, and if he had he was a good enough actor to smother it with fierce dominance. But now, well... now, Zayin is a shadow of himself, and Seth's words are only >>

Reborn as a demon, from the Sea of Binah. ... It makes sense, in retrospect. Why he washed up there. Aleph always had a hunch, but it wasn't relevant then. And, of course, that of Zayin being Satan-- he mentioned that just now, didn't he? Accepting himself. But then... (Was he lying?) >>

it seems. How long did Zayin intend to hide this? ... Did he really think he'd succeed, as if Aleph didn't know a thing? "Hold on, wait." Recomposing himself, the Messiah stands taller, straighter, more confidently. "Buried? Has Zayin been suppressing you?"

No words? Maybe not for Zayin, but Aleph has plenty to share. He eyes Seth for a moment, gauging exactly how to approach, but... He can't really sense hostility from the dragon. Not toward himself, at any rate. No, he seems to be directly addressing *Zayin,* and... well, for good reason, >>
