I don't know.

[ He really doesn't. It's hard for him to even know what he thinks anymore. After working in absolutes for so long being confronted with mixed feelings and contradictions is a confusing and stressful thing. There is one specific thing that he knows was untrue, though, and that's what he's here to clarify. ]

Vampires were never specifically forsaken by God, and I do not believe that they should have been at any point. It's an unfortunate state to be in, but it isn't a punishment. Not any more than the rest of the world's troubles.

Vampires, yes. [ Though far fewer in Castiel's time than there once had been. He almost mentions this before catching himself, realizing that that's probably not a reassuring thing to say. Better not to bring it up. ] 'Cainite' isn't a term I've heard before, though. Or at least, not in reference to vampires specifically.

No. In the world over which I presided, Cain's descendants are all human and stay that way unless something else changes them, and vampirism is not a curse inflicted by my Father.

If anything, the first vampire seems to regard his condition as a cherished gift from his mother. Some members of the later generations less so, but to my knowledge we were never directly involved.

Yes. [ He believes, and to him that is as good as knowing, because it is his Father who told him, however indirectly. Nevermind that he's starting to question a great number of things he's been told that ostensibly came from God - there are only so many things he can question at one time. ]

The world I was made for is only a small fraction of creation. God made many worlds - perhaps infinitely many - and took different steps in the shaping of each, but He is still constant across all of them.

Yes. Exactly. God wears a multitude of different aspects across the many worlds of His making. Sometimes an observer, other times a protector, or teacher. But still the same God, just in different roles.

[ Castiel goes silent for a long while, considering the question. Again, this is something he's never seen fit to question before, at least not seriously. ]

I don't know. I was created for the purpose of tending to one world and one world only. I don't know much about what happens in the others or why they exist, just that they do.

I wish I had answers. [ For himself as much as for Beckett. ]

Things have been very unfair for a long time. [ It's much the same sentiment that he expressed to Beckett in that twisted space-outside-of-space, but this time with none of the malice. Just sympathy and grief. ] There are things about the nature of God that are unknown even to us. Especially to us. You've been asking each other and debating why a just God would create an unjust world for thousands of years. Until recently I couldn't even begin to understand the question.
