Doing good Quote by wildbow
““She had been forced by the rules her maker had imposed on her to sacrifice herself for the human. It wasn’t that she wouldn’t have anyways. She just would have liked the choice. Making sacrifices and doing good deeds wasn’t actually good if you were forced to do them.””
