Chapter 69

• Not everyone was born with their sins. Some were born with it already, while others had it forced on them until it stuck.
• Ciel had envy in her blood from the start—always staring at someone else’s share, clutching at what wasn’t hers. Malachi never hid his greed either; the boy would claw for scraps, coins, gems—anything he thought could be owned. Benedict? Sloth stuck to him. The priests didn’t have to teach him to waste away; he came into the world already half-asleep.
• Ezra—Pride was rooted in him from the start. Arrogance, superiority, dominance. Training was unnecessary because it was already his nature.
