The punishment of "action" in Orpheus' poem actually corresponds to "gluttony". The essence of the sin of gluttony is coveting comfort and pleasure, not making progress, wasting what one already has, and overindulging in something.
among things.
As the prince of Denisawia, he had long been aware of the corruption of this country. However, he was obsessed with music and devoted all his talents to music... and when the country needed him most,
I chose to board the treasure ship Silver, forget all my worries, and go on a happy journey around the world.
And his nightmare forced him to face up to his talents and responsibilities - he had to become a king and give up his favorite way of music in order to save the world. Otherwise, he would have to rely on his own strength alone to save the world.
There is no way to fight against this empty and cold world.
...If you put it this way.
The counterpart of Ingrid should be "jealousy". Jealousy of love, jealousy of those favored by fate, such as Annan. It is between greed and arrogance... longing for what others have, but yet
Look down on others like gods.
She was sentenced to "thinking" punishment, which was to make her calm down and face what she had. If she could maintain normal thinking ability from the beginning and patiently communicate with the devil, she would gradually gain wisdom over a long period of time.
The trust of the other party...then she may not fall into that desperate situation.
It's even possible to get real "love".
Annan recounted their experiences in the nightmare and his own speculations.
He concluded:
"This is not so much a punishment as a trap... I think this is a sacred trial. It is a make-up lesson for students who are partial to subjects, to make up for everyone's shortcomings."
"What Orpheus did is, in a sense, close to the miracles that Javon did in the past."
Zhiji praised: "And Isaac saved an apocalyptic world that was about to degenerate into hell with his own strength. Even if he is the savior, there is no problem...
"It's not so much that you got the fragments of truth from the nightmare, it's better to say that this nightmare 'truthfully reported' what you did to the Mist Realm, allowing you to naturally become a future god with your own merits.

"We need people like you!"
"... Speaking of which," Lucia, who had been hiding next to Chiron, suddenly whispered, "In the future I saw before... if Euphemia enters a nightmare, then Isaac and Aoife
Poetry will never come back."
"Why?"
Euphemia was stunned for a moment: "Why?"
"I don't know either, because I didn't even see what it looked like in the nightmare..."
"I probably know why."
Annan was thoughtful.
He has roughly figured out the nature of this nightmare. It's just a pity that if he had guessed it before leaving this nightmare, he might have been able to get more rewards...
"It's probably because I'm occupying a seat."
The faceless poet on the side suddenly said: "I heard what you said before, in fact, the distribution of those nightmares is a bit far-fetched.
"The nightmare of being sealed in an iceberg and unable to move seems to be very suitable to make an active and melancholy poet like Orpheus despair; Isaac is also suitable to enter a world full of light, and it is also suitable to be filled with fire.
Ingrid, who was imprisoned in a black coffin, was thrown into the world of the prairie, or the world of light, which must be filled with love to pass, can also make her fall into despair."
"Yes."
Annan nodded: "To put it simply, these worlds are not tailor-made for people. Instead, when people enter, they are assigned to different worlds based on their own personality traits.
"Except for the world that represents fire, which can accommodate multiple people, the other worlds can only accommodate one person at the same time.
"According to what I know about Euphemia...she once forgot her name and lived as another person completely. Neither her identity nor her name was her own anymore, and this is also a kind of
'Jealousy'. More intense jealousy than Ingrid.
"However, Ingrid entered the nightmare earlier than anyone else - after this position is occupied, it will be postponed..."
Annan said, turning his attention to Euphemia.
What he meant was: "Can I say the next part"?
Euphemia hesitated for a moment, but nodded.
"If only Orpheus and Arthur change... I will soon be unable to keep up."
She whispered: "Please tell me everything you want to say. I also plan to face this past. And... I actually want to know what other problems I have."
"The answer is - you will occupy the nightmare where Orpheus is. Because the mission you escaped is even less worthy of escaping than Orpheus."
Annan replied: "You yourself have said that...the Melvin family is burdened with the 'curse of the living body'. If you are sent for marriage, the curse of the living body can be eliminated. This is tantamount to saving a life.
"You don't want to marry Old Crow - or, in other words, you are simply rebellious and don't want to follow the family's wishes. But in fact, you are not the only one who was sent to marry.
"You don't just 'don't want to marry', otherwise you could have exchanged this 'gift' to another of your own race. This means saving a soul that yearns for freedom... But you didn't. You didn't exchange this quota
Let it go, for whatever comes into your hands is yours.
"You actually don't want to get married...but you want to escape from this family and gain freedom. So you ask your best friend to marry Noah for you - because her life span is approaching and she doesn't want to die in front of her parents, so she also
I happily accepted it.
"But, generally speaking... isn't it because your life is approaching that you want to spend more time with your parents without leaving any regrets?"
Hearing Annan's words, Euphemia couldn't help but tremble.
That is the ugliness deep inside oneself, the fear of being forcibly pulled out and exposed to the sun.
But she just closed her eyes and tried to shut her mouth that subconsciously wanted to refute, defend, and make excuses.
Because she was actually aware of this subconsciously——
"Lily Rasputin didn't 'happen' to want to leave Winter. Instead, seeing her friend's desire for freedom, she tenderly decided to fulfill her friend's wish, so she made this kind of white lie.
"Euphemia was originally a fighter against the family's tradition, and there is a reason why you were chosen as the marriage partner. In the end, you hurriedly fled the family before you even had time to lift the 'curse of living corpses', without stopping for a moment...
"Of course you want to stagger the time of marrying Lily and make the scene of exchanging identities more reasonable. But isn't it because you are worried that Lily will suddenly regret it, so you run away overnight so that she can't regret it?
"——This is an act of betrayal. Because you are unable to face up to your own responsibilities, let alone the consequences of your actions.
"If you also enter this nightmare, the nightmare where Orpheus is located will be your burial place. And Orpheus may enter the world where Isaac is... because he is also a
A lazy person."
"...Yes. You are right..."
Euphemia responded softly: "I am just a coward.
"Like a coward who abandoned his friends and ran away when he was attacked by a frost beast."
