Ginger Thorn fell silent because survival of the fittest is a law of the world, and the doctrine of the Thorn Church is to carry the suffering of all beings, to bring happiness to them all.
All beings, not just humans.
When a nun of the Thorn Church asked her if she was willing to follow the doctrine, Ginger Thorn lied to avoid disappointing them, saying she would.
But in reality, she was just a selfish person who only wanted to protect humans, to hold up an umbrella for more weak and kind people, unwilling to bear the pain for evildoers and those who harm others.
Why...
Why should they be able to attain redemption just by laying down their butcher knives!
While the kind-hearted have to suffer pain.
They, who clearly have done no wrong!
Perhaps it was because of this lie that she was always plagued by nightmares.
But now,
Gary Smith gave her the chance to choose again.
'Even if it's just a dream...'
But this time, Ginger Thorn chose to nod her head.
"Very good!"
