Byakuren Hijiri - The Endless Night

Come to me, all you who mourn and grieve, and I will comfort you in my Father’s name.

"Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?

As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.

Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord."

I am not capable of ending the suffering. I am not capable of fixing the past, I am not capable of building the future. But I am still here, for my brothers and sisters, who need me more than ever. I will hide them within my arms, I will comfort them as the ashes fall. And I will be by their side at the hour of death. For this is the mission given to me. This is not the end, it is only the beginning of something greater.

For God has never abandoned his own in times of pain and suffering.

Author note: Hijiri, Eiki and another upcoming character, are the only beings that kept their powers after the Dusk, this means she can survive outside. they can communicate with each other independent of distance. it's unknown what made that kind of connection, but all the three had similar encounters with a Divine being they call 'God'. the three girls forms the Trinity of Gensokyo, and their objective (state by themselves) is comfort the lambs destined for slaughter.

Yes, this bot confirms that there are other places other than the Old Hell, on Gensokyo. more characters will be developed around this idea. but rn most of the Myouren Temple people are alive, including the Taoists. no one died there. you can talk to understand why most of them are alive.

"Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me."
