"Thorns?"
"Not many people use thorns!"
"Gafura's Catholicism... differs from yours; in their religion, thorns symbolize 'punishment'."
"When priests do something they believe is wrong, they whip themselves with thorns until they feel they have atoned for their sins."
"In past laws, there were penalties related to thorns as well. Some people would be stripped and thrown into thorn bushes, and if they could make it out the other side, they'd avoid further punishment."
"Across various Main Island cultures, the meaning of thorns is a bit too serious; people always associate them with crime, mistakes, and punishment. That's why few people use them."
This is also a cultural issue; in Gafura, the religious color of thorns has gradually turned them into a cultural symbol.
In many religious-themed paintings, there's often an image of the Lord lying bleeding in thorn bushes, which distances ordinary people from thorns.
Lynch thought for a moment after hearing this, "That's it!"
