[ there's the smallest, briefest pause. ]

It wouldn't. It shouldn't. But I have to accept the reality.

...There are things out there even more powerful than gods. Believe me, I know. But that doesn't mean we're powerless all together.

Of course not. Rolling over and being obedient is against my nature, but denying the situation I'm in won't give me a solution.

We have to figure out how to play the game.

I agree. It would be nice to think we could get out of here without having to follow those rules, but I don't think so.

Unfortunately, we're bound by that rulebook for the next seven weeks. If there's a way to update it...

[ she doesn't think it's highly likely that there is, but it's a thought to have. ]

I wouldn't close my eyes to it.

I think there are more ways to change the story than it seems right now. But I understand that we all need to find a way to survive in the meantime.

That's about the gist of every life or death game I've known about.

That's the game of life, baby. You gotta stay alive long enough to make trouble.

Oh? You can stay around for a while yet.

[ she likes ylfa's spunk. ]

[she doesn't actually have a tail but she has tail wagging energy at this.]

You can stay around, too.

[ cute. ]

Don't worry. I plan to.

I guess a goddess probably has a lot to get back home for.

I have to help save the world or something.

[ lambda makes it sound like a bother. ]

...Oh.

[well, that's pretty serious.]

It must be important to you, to get back.

I'll honor my contract.

[ it's a very noncommittal answer. ]

What do you have to return to?

My friends. And...saving the world or something. They're going to do it, but they might need me to keep them safe so they can.

Oh? Are you their bodyguard?

[she nods.]

They must feel very safe with you around.
