Oh, the gods certainly exist. Of that, there is no question.
But do they care? Of course not. At least, not in a way that matters to the individual.

And in return, they simply... colour our eyes.

Many chose to ignore the knowledge, or even to fight it with bold and unabashed denial.
I was not among them. I could not be.
