| center of the chest |
宗 Can also be read as 'mune', which also sounds like chest/heart.
Center. Chest.
(Am I understanding this correct? The kanji can be read as 'mune' which can sound like chest?)
Soh is the origin and source, and possibly her ancestor. Is Soh simply the previous Maiden who is the new Goddess and the source of Yoshiro's power? Or is she a part of the Goddess, with Yoshiro as the other half? Or is she the Goddess, fragmented?
The curse kanji can be read as 'soh':
The kanji 詛, meaning curse, can be read as Soh. 呪 is the main kanji used for curse in the game, appearing when Yoshiro is attacked and Soh is depowered.
But Soh wears that kanji on her Outset armor. There's also the impurity pattern on her clothing(not just her mask).
The Seethe are called the Goddess's kin and many have the impurity pattern on them.
They can steal the Goddess's power and they drop crystal orbs, the Goddess's power.
"...people and gods, gods and Seethe, and misfortune and fortune are two sides of the same coin."
Everything flips when the time comes.
...could the ritual be about absorbing and containing the defiled Goddess who has become cursed? Why is her presence in everything, including the Seethe?
Or is it about purifying her?
