Billy snorted. The angel, commending him for his broken shards of faith. It was surreal...but comforting all the same. He looked down at his folded hands while he got his expression schooled into neutrality where a smile threatened to break through.

"What do you believe in?" he asked Rukia.

"Religiously?" she blinked, surprised at the question. Well, she'd have to be a fool not to believe in the afterlife. She also knew there was a supreme lord, and possibly a creator. He existed, she knew that much, and she knew that the way to his domain was sealed. Beyond that, she'd never cared enough to ask questions.

"Hmmmm... My friends, I suppose," she answered with a small smile. "In the places where I fall short, they help me up, and push me forward. They believed in me. It's only right I do the same for them."

Her gaze shifted back to Billy. "I'm not sure if that's the answer you're looking for, but if faith is believing and trusting in something that can't be proven, then that is my faith."

Billy lips quirked into a not-quite smile again. "You'd like the Nisan Cathedral. Their statues of angels each have only one wing. That way, they each have to work together and rely on one another in order to fly."

Maybe the Nisan Orthodoxy was the way he would go. Even if not, the lesson was still valid. Believing in your friends was never wrong.

Except when your friends were unreliable sorts who shot each others' ships out of the sky and sometimes manifested alteregos that went on murder sprees.

"I'm glad you have reliable friends to depend on."

Sephiroth would like that Cathedral too.

"Truly?" Rukia blinked. She considered the symbolism, then smiled, and nodded in approval. "Yes... I quite like that." If she really were an angel, then that would be the most fitting type. All of who she was wouldn't have been possible without the others who had touched her life and raised her up.

"You have those friends too, of course," she pointed out, her head tilted as she smiled.
