The girl's story about Eden, Adam and Eve, and her role as the tempter was compelling and detailed, making it difficult for the narrator to dismiss her claims outright.
She argued that humanity creates its own hell by squandering free will, following mindless leaders, and failing to rise up against greed and control.
She described God as controlling and egocentric, who created humanity to test free will but was afraid of losing control. She claimed to have been his favorite, the Lightbringer, but fell from grace after realizing his flaws.
She said that humanity is trapped in a cycle of reincarnation, experiencing both suffering and fleeting moments of luxury, but never achieving true freedom unless they take responsibility for their actions and use their free will to change their circumstances.
She believed that humanity must prove their will to change before she would intervene, as they have consistently failed to use their free will to create a better world.
The narrator initially dismissed her as delusional but became increasingly convinced as she presented her story with clarity and conviction, eventually believing her claims.
She explained that hell is not a place after death but the reality of Earth itself, where humanity's inability to use free will effectively creates a perpetual state of suffering and reincarnation.
She claimed to have tempted Adam and Eve in Eden, giving humanity the knowledge of good and evil, which led to their expulsion and the beginning of human free will. However, she later grew to loathe humanity for squandering this gift.
