Yeah, kind of. It's what I'm used to doing in a way. I might consider it just in the unlucky chance someone uses that power on me next week, but... [ That takes her surefire way to take someone down with her if someone comes after her. She has to weigh her options. ]
... It's complicated. The person I follow back home is ultimately a good person, who cares a lot. She cares a lot more than anyone really thinks. It's only recently that she's come to think the ends doesn't always justify the means. [ Nonon doesn't have quite as many moral scruples as she should even if she knows what is more moral. ] I care about doing things in a way that she'd approve of more than all of those, but I want to make sure she lives.
[ This is the most indirect answer Nonon has probably ever given. ]
…that's really cool. [:o] Really sneaky. Let's hope it doesn't come to that, but if it does? You know what to do.
[There's a pause though and she hums thoughtfully.] …there's someone I used to follow in my old life, too. He was a good person who wanted to do the right thing and find the truth in everything. He's…one of the best people I've ever met, and he's the kind of person to care about everyone he meets. I don't think there's anything wrong with wanting to do things in a way you think other people would approve of.
[…] It's sort of why I'm playing this game a certain way, too. I want to win not only because I'm doing things my way, but in a way he'd be proud of me. So…I think I get what you're saying.
[Do things the right way, but be prepared to sacrifice things for the safety of the one you care about.]
If you do end up getting hit with a swap, let me know where you're going? We know when powers are used but the rest is up to you.
[...at that...she smiles a little.] I do. Even if he doesn't love me back, I do...I want what's best for him and to make sure he'll always be safe, even if I can't do everything for him. And it's why you can't tell him you've seen my face today.
Don't do that! [...] ...well, I mean I can't stop you but don't do that just because of this.
[She can't really stop Nonon, so...ganba, Yu.] Anyway it's because I haven't told him, but I think he might have an idea...the last time I saw him before the ascension, we were saying goodbye at the train station. That's not the last thing he remembers. [So.] I don't want to skew his perspective of the game, but...you guys are kinda close. So I wanted to be honest with you.
[Is she a little annoyed that Yu flirts with everyone? Yeah, because she can see it, but it's fine. She's a god, he's not, what can you do?]
No, it's not just because of this. We wanted an alternative method to detain culprits, if we ever figured out more than one. [ You know, in that slim possibility that people collectively have more than one brain cell. ] I need to lock someone at curfew to keep Ruin's key, and I'm pretty sure he's the type to go along with being locked in.
[ Because he's a boy who's like that. ]
Thanks for telling me. I'll do my best to make sure he doesn't do anything too stupid.
You made a deal with Ruin? [Somehow this doesn't surprise her, but ugh.] That's not a bad way of thinking...and you're right. Yu-senpai would go along with it as long as he knew what you were doing. Just be honest with him as best as you can.
[Idiot boy...] ...but I'd appreciate that. I have a few others keeping an eye on him, too, just in case. But I still worry about all of you.
You don't like Ruin that much, huh? Beggars can't be choosers, but I don't mind talking to her. She doesn't seem that bad. [ She shrugs. There are worst people and Ruin is kind of fun? ]
Well, then I'll take all my eyes off of him. I think most of us are either generally liked or considered useful although I toe the line for both.
There's nothing wrong with that. I don't trust her either, but I can't say I don't understand her. I kind of get her vibe. [ It's a little similar to hers in some ways. ]
Love.... he drugged himself. [ Because he's an idiot. ] I'm adored at home, but people from different worlds have different standards and sometimes, they're just plain weird.
[But there's a sigh.] Yeah, I know. I'll talk to him about that on my own time. [Because yeah he's a moron...] Why do you think we brought so many of you from different worlds though? It's hard to learn to get along sometimes, but it's possible, isn't it?
Well truthfully you guys were the first 42 people to answer the call we put out? And then we ended up in a bidding war amongst ourselves to see which of the three of us would reach out to each of you.
Well, we're all here, and that's that, and we totally went away from what we were talking about. [ Because she had some reaction to figuring out Love and Yu knew each other. ] I don't even remember what about anymore.
