Chapter 26 Sorrow
Sorrow
It happens again.
And again. And again.
It happens shortly after they make their agreement. And it happens in different locations of the human world, including The Celestial City, a metropolis of glowing trees, where they find Anger at last.
When they reunite with their crew leader, Anger introduces them to Merry, the peppy goddess who’s kindled the rage god’s stoic heart.
Not long after, they reunite with Love and Andrew. Then everyone allies with a psychotic deity called Malice, to whom Wonder has lost her heart—and who happens to be the reincarnation of the mortal she was tortured for.
Meanwhile, Sorrow and Envy operate on sexual autopilot, reaping the rewards of casual fuckery. Each time, on each surface, they position themselves so they don’t have to look at each other, reaching a concession to be lust partners.
No commitment. No affection. No intimacy.
And never any kissing.
