Jodi's stern expression softened slightly as she led Nate through the bustling streets of the city. "Poor girl," she said, her voice uncharacteristically gentle.
Nate, puzzled by her sudden change in demeanor, asked, "What do you mean by that?"
Her dark eyes took on a thoughtful look. "The sheer number of blessings bestowed upon that girl is likely the reason for her... peculiar personality," she mused.
"Aren't blessings supposed to be a good thing?" Nate questioned, perplexed by the idea that divine favors could be detrimental.
Jodi shook her head, her long brown hair swaying with the motion. "A mortal body isn't designed to contain such an abundance of divine power. If you had appraised her, you'd likely have discovered she possesses five full blessings. That amount of celestial energy can cause significant damage, particularly to one's mind."
