[taking his hand helps. senri listens closely to sincerity's words as if they're instructions given by a director. these are the things that he's supposed to do now, because sincerity is a god and would know better than him hopefully. that's how this game is supposed to work, right?
he listens.]
... I can try to talk to her. Would it work even if I'm one of yours?
[he's still trying to understand how it's meant to be done on a day like this.
and more than that....]
What do you mean - set everything right for her? I was going to ask... can you take her on as one of your followers? She told me that she wanted to choose you from the start. We were going to be on the same team and help you win! I don't.... I don't want her to lose the chance at her wish, just because someone did this to her.
You can try to. But, if you ask me, Sen-chan... She might be more swayed by one of the brothers, since it affects them most of all.
[Sincerity says this gently, at least.]
We're going to bring her back after all this. It will be like what happened this weekend never happened... like it was all just a bad dream. But I can't make her my follower now. A participant can only choose a new god on Sundays, and he is no longer a part of this contest. ...for her to get her wish, Ambition is going to have to win.
Ah, that's not quite what I meant, Sen-chan. You still remember bad dreams when you wake up, but if you're hurt in the dream, you won't be hurt anymore life. It's like that.
Ah, okay. [he.... accepts that, he supposes. he relaxes considerably at the explanation, because - ] .... If it meant that she didn't have to remember what happened, I'd accept it but... I would've been really sad if Shiks completely forgot me.
[he wants friends )': ]
And I guess... there's no way for me to take on her wish with my own, huh.
[it must be hard for a lying liar who lies to make friends :( ]
Unfortunately not. One follower, one wish. You could ask for her wish instead of your own, but... your wish is something you want badly enough to have agreed to be here.
I'm the god of Sincerity, and even I'm not sure I could agree to give up something I'd want that much.
Senri pauses at that - because of course he does. There's something he wants more than anything else in the world and it's right in front of him if he can just keep doing what he's doing and keep up his multitude of lies.
[Sincerity pats him on the back. He sounds sad when he speaks.]
It really sucks. [Which... Is a simple way of summing it up, but hey, it's true.] When I win this, I'm going to make sure no one has to go through this sort of thing ever again.
[It's a major part of the reason why Sincerity is taking part in this game at all.]
They're still going to be part of the pantheon, ruling over their aspects. But I'll have the power to keep them in line if they try anything, and the world will be mine to craft.
I'm pretty sure you've heard by now... but I've been meeting with the other gods - since I've been told that it's good to get to know you all. I'm worried about Beauty and Merriment... really worried.
I just want to make sure that they'll be okay, as long as you win.

there's a lot he didn't expect, actually.]
- wait, we won't remember anything that happened here if we lose? Will we remember if we win?

He closes his eyes, and he admits it quietly.]
.... No, I - I can't either.
[but god if he doesn't sound guilty over it]
.... thanks, Cheri....

[Senri's smile is weak, but it's a smile nonetheless.]
You get to build the world on your own, right? What are the other gods going to do?

[Sincerity say this as soothingly as he can manage.]
Beauty-kun and I are good friends. And Merriment-kun's a nice guy - I doubt we'll have any trouble working together once I'm in charge!

senri won't touch that for now]
... Okay. I'll keep working hard, and see who I can sway to join our team this coming week too.
