Gyousou, to Seirai, on the verge of tears: And then he called me dad.

Thinking of each person as having a unique relationship with a leader-God (and, indeed, all Gods one worships) is a natural outcome of theology, especially in a Platonic context. In addition, there are contexts based on factors like culture, location, and so on.
Anyone who is curious about leader-Gods and what they are can check out this section of The Soul's Inner Statues, which breaks this down. It's a pretty big deal in Platonizing polytheism, although other systems have similar ideas about individuals having a God who is linked to their soul: https://kayeofswords.github.io/soulsinnerstatues/gods.html#a-chain-unbroken
Text reads: "'It is fitting' for each of us to do these things 'according to the customs of one's country'. For [the] God is always simultaneously present everywhere, with all of [their] divine powers. But we are limited to one form among those many forms produced by [the God], the human form, and within the human form are limited to one form of life for now and one choice of life, and are divided up into a little portion of the universe and of the earth itself. So different people partake in a different instance of divine goodness, and they do so in a different way at different times and places. You can at least see that when it is day with us, it is night for others, and when it is winter in one place, it is summer in another, and that these sorts of flora and fauna prevail here, and elsewhere other sorts: the earth and the things on it partake of divine goodness in a divided way. So, just as the places and lives of people differ, each person propitiates the divine through the rites which [the] God revealed and which they themselves became aware of through experience, rites which differ in their occasions and methods, and in the variation of the objects sacrificed and offered. And when the affairs of [the] God are celebrated according to [the] God, a particular activity of divine illumination becomes evident on certain circumscribed days which is not at all evident on other days […]."

Eishou: *Poised to hit Seirai over the head with a shovel*
Risai: Eishou NO!
Shouwa: Why are there little handprints all over the house?
Seirai, turning to little Taiki: Taiho, why are there little handprints all over the house?
Taiki: Because I have little hands.
Seirai, turning back to Shouwa: Because he has little hands.
IDk why this bothers me when I see fanart but like Seirai doesn't have an eyepatch bc the Kou Minister of Winter offered to make him a realistic glass eye
