It’s also why my postgame verse feels averse to being called Shepherd or ever truly taking that mantle for herself. She’s only the Shepherd in ability, the ability to fight and purify but she doesn’t embody the role of Shepherd as Sorey had been Shepherd
your job is to give life, mine is to take it-- got that?
She’s taken countless lives, lived in the shadows. A life in the light didn’t suit her. She doesn’t regret what she’s done but someone like her couldn’t possibly follow in Sorey’s footsteps
#;bookkeeping#its midnight in the office and im having emotions about my queen#the day alisha makes a shepherd's pact is the day rose breathes a sigh of relief#because alisha was someone who could uphold those ideals#while rose returned to working behind the scenes#she'll work her ass off#fighting hellions#purifying the world#but that's just grunt work#she can do that#it'll be up to another to forge alliances#inspire people and seraphim and nations to cooperation#to be a leader and inspiration#rose is not that and never will be
