The Cost of Salvation

Seraphine’s memory-price turned Corin’s theological concern into a direct conflict with the campaign’s apparent solution. He argued that a willing sacrifice was not automatically a righteous one and asked Aster to reconsider before the Forge.

After Aster’s memory was taken, Corin refused to call restoration a clean victory. With the black star real and both Maelin and Caelum considering extreme responses, his faith must now answer what the Light permits when every available path demands a cost from someone.
