She is the Nightsinger, the mistress of darkness. We know the world is cold and cruel, but we don't fight against that knowledge. We embrace it, and use it as our strength and our shield.
Some would definitely say that you find strength in knowledge.
[ So for a religion, a belief to embrace it as such.. it's not too surprising. It's interesting actually. ] ...Where I'm from, we follow the Universe with our beliefs. "The Universe leads, and we can only follow."
...Well, how would I know. But as far as I'm aware, this is something that happened recently. I had to give up some of my memories to maintain secrecy for my order.

[...]
Really? None at all? No idea why it happened, even?
no subject
[ It makes sense. Quietly, their fingers idly squeeze their own hand as her questions come. ]
..No. I don't even remember what I was doing the day it happened. Just.. suddenly, everything before that moment was gone. Erased.
no subject
Well. It was the same for me. Everything before that moment erased. But I know that it's something I chose to happen to me.
no subject
I see. [ Subconsciously, they tuck into their cloak collar a bit more to hide. ] Whereas I didn't choose it.
