Chapter 7, Vez's POV — Bathing (Patreon)

“What does ‘worthy’ mean?” Vezriel asks quietly.

Even now, they still don’t know. Many demons mean many different things by it. When they were a child, they asked their mother the same question. Diligence, bravery, righteousness. Vezriel might have these qualities—Regiel made sure they grew up to be the perfect standard, or at least as close to it as possible—but that hasn’t made them feel any worthier than when they were a child, playing with wooden swords and rolling in the mud during scuffles with their friends.

They have become possessive of everything they have, but does that make them worthy? No. And they don’t know what will. Everyone has different answers, but they haven’t found theirs. They copied the idea that they mother had, but some days they struggle to believe in it.
