i was rereading MisVil and got smacked with angst (as expected) but saw a TN and a story and now I must—
Recently, Grisha's Fairy has been running around granting wishes to the common people. Small ones, big ones, anything. A show of humanity? A last struggle against the will awakening in Him? Grisha grieves before it has happened, but he does not oppose even if these wishes steal moments from them. At their core—they are kind wishes. Grisha does not find issue with this. He is just a bit confused:
"You're God, so you aim for the greater good. The happiness of the majority is better than the happiness of none, right?"
"Yes, indeed. But you are weakening. The Celestial Worthy's will is-"
"I have a story. Want to hear it?"

"The story goes that a man is taking a walk by the beach after a huge storm. The storm had left many fishes stranded in little pools on the beach and soon, these pools will dry up and the fishes will die. He sees a little boy crouching beside one of the pools, throwing the fishes back into the sea.
"He tells the boy, “There are thousands of fishes. You won’t be able to save them all.”
"The boys replies, “I know.”
"The man asks again, “So why do it? Who would care?”
"The boy then says as he throws a fish into the sea, “Because this fish cares.” And as he throws the other fishes back, “And this fish, and this fish…”"
