The choice and its consequences were placed onto Natasha's shoulders, personally. But how does one explain divine intervention from a god you didn't even know existed until she walked up to you in the shadows of a snowstorm and Made herself known? How does Natasha explain she's apparently faithful to this heretofore unknown deity and that that fact terrifies her to her core?
"One of the spirits in this spiritually overcrowded place picked me specifically to make the choice. Leaked Reynard's intentions to me. That was how I knew what was going to happen. Not heresay or whispers. It's also how I found out I'm apparently tied up with a Goddess I didn't even know I was worshiping until this Winter."
If Natasha's own actions disgusted herself, that admission is even harder still to admit to. Her skin crawls with the possibilities because she still knows nothing about the Spirit from the shadows.
"I tried for weeks to find another way out of this. Any other way. But you look me in the face and tell me if your brother's life was on the line you'd trust any other hands but your own and then tell me my math was wrong. Because it was. All of the lives here were at risk."
