If you want. Let's see... well, there's not much to say about the first one. We were on a cliff with an enemy too powerful for us to defeat behind us, so we took a chance and jumped. [clarte's doing because clarte is a risk taker.] By chance, there were actually people living down below, and though they were wary of outsiders... we had the fortune to be found and rescued by one of the few who had no such fear.

Perhaps it's unsurprising that she brought about the next miracle. [...] The village was a race of winged people, but a curse had been laid on the land so that they could not fly. They couldn't leave the village either, as there was a foe who possessed the ancestral duty to attack or kill anyone who tried.
However, there was a vague prophecy that the village believed could dispel the curse. It went along the lines of, "Offer one without wings unto the darkness of the cliff. And turn your heart into iron..."
... That was the assumed interpretation, yes. Though the people of the village had no intention of doing so, when we came across them—they were kind people who didn't want to kill an innocent to save themselves.
However, circumstances led to Seze—the girl who kept them trapped—temporarily losing her wings. Thus, the village elder decided to bear the sins and threw her off the cliff.

My friend, who had similarly lost her wings, steeled her nerves and jumped off the cliff to try and save her. After all, when it said that one's heart had to turn to iron, it didn't specify that meant killing your kindness.

... In this place, all we have is each other. It's a strength—but in some ways, it's also a wound that will fester for us.

It all depends if people will work together or not. If, after what Kazuma has shown us, it makes others trust less, it will be the wound that festers.

... I think many people still want to believe, which is a good sign. But that empathy will hurt a lot tomorrow, no doubt.

I have no doubt. Whatever kind of execution we're shown....

No... Paradise is something that will be lost for eternity, I think. [anyway.] But I've seen a few miracles for others happen in my life.

Can I ask for a recounting? We might need a miracle.

How would you interpret this method, Roxana?
if you tag me back
The most literal interpretation would be to sacrifice someone without wings, but I take it meant something different?

Courage does not have to go without kindness. By trying to save one person, she saved them all.
