What happens when the goat finally had their breakthrough moment? you probably won’t tell us WHAT causes it (though I love it if you did, is it realizing the lamb is straining them along, seeing Narinder and the lamb, talking with the bishops, (maybe Leshy or Shamura) and they’re like dude what the fuck that’s not healthy)
But what happens, can a golem fully break free of their masters control? Would they end up leaving the cult (probably not cause they’re close to the bishops now) would they stop listening to the lamb? Since the seduction is a part of the lambs control of the golem how would they react? Would they worry about the goat going AWAL, try to replace them with a new one?
Goat’s realization is more of a… gradual one, I guess? There isn’t an “aha!” moment or anything, it’s more like a slow build up alongside a change in habits and thought patterns. This happens through them finally hanging out with people that aren’t the lamb(i.e. the bishops), getting closer with them and respecting them just enough to care about their opinions. Not much but just enough to where if someone says something about the relationship they’ll actually think about it.
At some point, towards the beginning of lamb’s ascension to godhood, the goat realizes that they don’t really know who they are outside of the lamb, and it causes them to go on a whole existential crisis spiral lmao. This happens because since the lamb is sharing their life force with the goat this causes the goat to also change appearance alongside them, and the horror of realizing your body is not only changing against your will but because of someone else sends them to a bit of a panic. After a while of this they realize that they need to be on their own and away from the lamb to be able to find themself, and so they’ll need the lamb’s permission for that. There isn’t actually a way for a golem to break free from their master, and a golem can be summoned whenever at whatever distance, so the goat will have to ask the lamb to not summon them and trust that they really won’t. By this time they’ve both just kinda been doing their own thing and the lamb stops caring much about what the goat does since they can still control them at any time, so they let the goat do their own thing. Every once in a while the lamb will summon the goat though, mainly just to vent or something since the goat is the closest friend the lamb has ever had aside from Narinder. This just causes the goat’s feelings towards the lamb to lessen since they’re finally coming to terms with the fact that the lamb doesn’t really care about them and has always just used them for their own benefit.
This would make the goat kinda hate the lamb for a while, but ultimately they’ll be fine with that too. Whether they like it or not they’re both connected to eachother forever and the lamb still holds the power so there’s just no point in staying mad, they just have to accept this is a part of their life and deal with it. In the end they do make a life for themself that’s separate from the lamb, but they still work for them sometimes. It just becomes… actual work, like a job
