Quote #7
Shin was happier when he was his own god—the Pod God. […]He's not a god anymore, he's just a cult of one, listening to voices in his head. (26.7)
Shin was better when he was in control of something else. Now something is controlling him.
Quote #8
Shin has spun off into some strange Shinnish reality. (27.29)
