Didn't you declare yourself a god in that memory I saw...?

[mygod]

I did.

[ and he truly thinks it's accurate ]

Do gods need to be worshipped? Can't they just be left alone to do as they please?

[turbulency]

[ He didn't even deny it. ]

Worshiping is just asking for help and saying thanks, isn't it? It's just called worship because a god is involved.

[mygod]

[ why would he deny it... ]

Worship is akin to idolatry. Admiration. Praise. Often it falls alongside a blind belief in what and who you are following can do no wrong.

That's useless to me.

[turbulency]

Huh, same ego, different desires.

[ Talking about Scien and Satoru. ]

That's true too. But not what I came to ask you about- I wanted to know about the wish.

Mainly, does it still activate if you die, and could you use it to guarantee getting out of here?

[mygod]

[ okaY? the way scien is like 'there is no one else like me' because he's truly so arrogant rn ]

Partially. You could use it to ensure that you are still alive in your home no matter what, but you will possess no memory of what happened here.

It can activate as soon as you make the partner bond, or another time.

[turbulency]

So if you use it before you die—if you die—then it'll activate.

[ Hums... That's a weird caveat, but not the worst. ]

How many people could you ensure?

[mygod]

It is not up to me.

If you all manage to use the loophole to ensure your lives, then that's up to you.

[turbulency]

So it's possible, but someone has to do it?

[mygod]

Ah, you're asking if one wish could save multiple people.

In that case—no, you're all only responsible for yourselves.

[turbulency]

[ Ah. Frowns. ]

What about saving one other person?

[mygod]

You would be able to save their life, not yours.

[turbulency]

All right.

[ Rubs his neck. ]

I don't want to rely on this, but it's helpful to know. Thanks.

[mygod]

[ nods ]

It is best to know all your options.

[ a beat ]

Would you value his life above your own?

[turbulency]

[ Easy, ]

Of course.

[mygod]

[ gay.... it's july.... ]

For what reason?

[turbulency]

[ this is why he has to die... ]

If I save myself, and go back to Japan with no memory of this place, I'll become a mass murderer.

But Satoru would change things for the better.

[mygod]

And you don't think that he would be angry at you for abandoning him, if only one of you could be saved?

Or is that negligible?

[turbulency]

Satoru is more logical than he looks. He'd understand the reason behind it.

[mygod]

I should not be the one telling you that reason does not always align with emotion.

[turbulency]

It doesn't but... I trust him. He'll understand.

[ This is probably a lie. ]

[mygod]

[ dryly: ] He's 18. Of course he's not going to understand.

[turbulency]

[ ...

He rubs his forehead. ]

Then I'll just have to take his anger.

[mygod]

[ shrugs ]

If that is the choice you choose to make, so be it.

[ famine cannot understand the inner workings of teenagers... ]

[turbulency]

How's your digging going, anyway?
