#just a reminder that the Sinners haven't been properly socializing. That they've only talked to each other for centuries

part 2 to the. Sinners interacting with the Order. but it's the Narrative Foils.

< Yi Ha-neul finally being to crack Azrael's own "fakeness" around him and learning about his past from Azrael himself, not through flashbacks. Becoming particularly quiet when learning about V-02-5917 and what she meant to Azrael, the same way Ephai meant to Yi Ha-neul at one point. He simply can't just forgive Azrael for his actions but he can understand him a bit better now. He is able to Empathize with him because it shows why Azrael has come to such conclusions because of the environment he grew in. It was all a fight for your life, where happiness wasn't heard of. It's understanding why Azrael had wanted to keep it so hard. Azrael has never seemed so lost in thought and quiet, but Yi Ha-neul was open. Open to the idea of giving him an another chance, properly this time. Welcoming him.

< Amor learning more about Maude, seeing how he was also heavily mistreated and dehumanized to the point of thinking that violence and wrath would be the only way to stop this from happening. It is all the instinct reaction of an abused dog - yelling and fighting your way as a defense mechanism. It is the same way Amor had reacted when he was being mistreated and thought of as just a tool for the company. They've both only known aggression as a defense mechanism but it is Amor's own path that he treaded that teaches Maude that he can also heal in peace. It is being shown that Maude is also welcomed here, welcomed to finally be treated like a person without having to fight for it.

< Liliosa and Yi Ae-ra are really about stopping yourself from having your life dictated by something else you thought that defined you. It is really about giving Liliosa the cold truth that she has been in the wrong about her way of dealing with the problem that stemmed all of her issues. Being blind to your own mistakes is what was dealing her damage, but Yi Ae-ra was always open to helping her forgive herself first. It is, once again, showing that you're capable of change even though you thought you were doomed. Liliosa's insatiable desire to know real love is what made her become lost to the point of no longer knowing her own sense of who she is, and Yi Ae-ra lent her a hand to guide her back to the surface. Showing that she is welcomed even despite her mistakes, that she can be forgiven

< Aridam and Alaya is showing that Aridam can relearn compassion yet again, how it is like to properly love and show love for others and yourself. Aridam has always felt like nothing, like no one wanted to deal with him. Neglected as a person, which was indeed happening to him. His pride is a fake act to try to seem Grand. To seem importance. Losing what was that defined Him. Through the beauty of space, it is Alaya teaching him that despite being at a loss when it comes to understanding yourself and others, you can always start over and let the support of others be your guide like the stars. Being shown exactly that beneath the starry sky, the celestial bodies. Understanding that in this galaxy, there will always be space for you despite how insignificant and unwanted you've once felt. That you were Always welcomed.

< Agatha being shown by Tao Yuqi that dooming yourself to wither with regret until the end of time is not the way. Again being shown that instead of sabotaging your chances to change, you can forgive yourself and take the first step. Being confined to a certain role for so long made her think that she was not capable of breaking the cycle of suffering she had to endure herself. But Yuqi was there, in that kind of role. She was always just scared to even take the first step. By seeing how Agatha used to fight to survive an another day being one of the folks at the bottom, it is clear that her desire for authority was because she wished to Know. Know how it is like not to worry about her life the next day. Now Yuqi's own experiences with being forced into a role of an authority tell Agatha that it will be alright, and that she is welcomed here.

< Sora always losing something in her childhood is what messed her up this much. She has lost family members, her happiness, her joy - it is what she wanted to live for and preserve. Sora wanted nothing but the best, but in the end made it her own source of fear. Fearing that the worst will come for her and her happiness. And deciding to constantly flee, a child's only defense mechanism. Jef's own history with having to lose many things dear to him in life, including his own memories, has shown him that there will always be something new that brings you joy. That being afraid of change is something that you can overcome. Lending her a pencil, he shows that she is also welcome. That she can count on him to overcome this fear.

< Kenix and Yaku.. the most Complicated one. Kenix staying overly quiet, not wanting to look in Yaku's direction out of shame. It is Yaku who reaches out to him. Yaku has always been aware of Kenix's personal struggles but after becoming more familiar with what he has been going through, he wants nothing but to help. To show that Kenix could always break free. That putting his true feelings behind a mask isn't the way to resolve this. Yaku's own experiences with an abusive family show that you can always become a better person than those who wronged you. Kenix just. Being so hesitant to reach out too. His own perspective on people still being ever so flawed. But Yaku's kindness shows that he can also be helped despite his own conclusions. And that he will always be welcomed, as who he wants to be.
