Of course, all of this belonged to Malin's delusions until the truth was finally revealed in that small chapel when he saw the lady—in fact, they really wanted to save this world, every individual, even every deity, was just a part of this plan.
From the very beginning, they were guiding Mr. Malin, guiding his life, guiding his mind, even guiding him towards his mission.
Everyone was a clearly marked existence in the marketplace called Fate.
Whether subjectively or objectively, humans always grow in regret and pain. Jason couldn't even imagine how many attempts the lady and the gentleman had made before that day… They never gave Mr. Malin a choice from the beginning, they just wanted him to give everything, they wanted Mr. Malin to sacrifice his soul.
This shouldn't be, no matter how cruel Fate is, it shouldn't lead Mr. Malin down a destined dead end.
