Themes and ending

At the Mount of Temptation, Ninsi accepts what the Christian story teaches its god-man to refuse. She accepts mystery, power, and the obligation to author a world rather than remain virtuous through withdrawal.

YHWH is not defeated so another category can inherit his universal position. Masculinity becomes impossible to sustain as a human category at all.

The ending should feel like the beginning of a creation myth: primordial violence, open possibility, and a new relation between Earth, Moon, and humanity. Ninsi becomes the Moon and learns to hold it in place.
