I am not one to tell someone how they can or can't worship. It is important for people to express their faith in ways they find comfort with. I am a fragment of the goddess, so that surely confuses people how to respond to my presence in general. It is why Diche crafted this form like so - she wanted me to be as far less intimidating as I can be so people would not fear me.

More than that... I am also meant to be someone who saves Orbis. People are... They are told that I will, as well. Not that there is a chance I will fail, nor that there will be loss along the way, nor that I am only barely strong enough to fight the Archdemon alone, but that I will defeat him and bring peace.

...

I think it is safe to imagine people might act "freakish and absurd" when their hope starts to wane.

It does make me happy to know... even so small, you were worried about me.
