I think a lot of their worlds are a little unrealistic in the long run, and I'm not confident they'll be able to fix it when things fall apart. [First and foremost.] ...when you hear the words "fairness" and "balance", what do you think of first?
I think that's a good way of looking at it. [This is to Madoka and he seems a little surprised by that.] Justice though...it's a tricky word. Isn't executing a murderer theoretically justice? Even though it's still murder?
That's why they're different. I don't think doing the same thing to the murderer is justice, even if it would be balanced. And it's hard to decide what justice is - whether it's something like jail, or execution...
[ honestly talk like this is a little over her head but she's doing her best. ]
Concepts like fairness and justice are likely too subjective to define even in a discussion with just three people. We'll all have our own vision of what those words mean. ... that may be true of balance, too.
And now we've come to exactly why we're playing this game. Congratulations. [All of the gods want something, but they all have a vision of balance that's too subjective.]

I guess the first thing I'd think of would be justice. [ they should all go hand in hand, right? ... in an ideal world. ]

You're both open-minded. I can appreciate that.

In the end, the decision being determined like this seems kind of... Like it's being left up to chance.
