and yet, I choose you

Samuel

I pray to blades of grass
To find forgiveness in the weeds

While the idea of being taken apart into many little pieces and reconstructed was...troubling to Sam, The Voice did satisfactorily answer his question. In fact, she answered a lot, telling him things about their history he had not known - once he had thought the barrier was the only thing the Old Gods had taken from them. Portals, too...if The Voice told the truth (and he could not see why she would lie) the Old Gods seemed like bitter traditionalists, shutting down innovation because of who invented it.

The only thing The Voice didn't answer was the question he cared about the most, so he had to ask again. "And...about the Blight? Why it won't happen again?"
