Strip the songs away and it comes to this: what the Faceless Men are really for. I think the plain answer is the true one, and everybody has talked themselves past it.
Ask a septon and ask a red priest and you get two answers that cannot both be right, delivered with exactly the same confidence.
Do it properly the first time. I did not.
