I ended up relying on the "The theory of evil people as the true agent"(by Shinran) after all.
As I was writing the real climax, I suddenly found myself on the side of the bad guys, and the plot turned into one in which the protagonist is saved by unconditional love.
I didn't mean to be like that, but
I ended up writing "following the guidance of love and mercy."
"I wonder if there's something you're ashamed of."
I think that's exactly right. After all, Iblis (the devil) lives in my heart too. Looking at it this way, I think I need Shinran's "Akunin Shoki-setsu" (theory of the evil person as the correct vessel). This theory is still controversial, but people who criticize it say it as if they are good people. If Christ said to them, "Let those who have never sinned cast stones," I guess they'd be the type to throw a stone at a woman. Oh, how scary, how scary.
In this way, I ended up unintentionally proving to myself that I could only be saved by Shinran's "Akunin Shoki-setsu."
But I wonder if this was a good thing.
Guided by love and compassion
