... far enough so that I can try to keep too many people from being sad. I know it's vague, but I think pretending that I can easily choose people to save and people I won't bother to is too cruel for me.
In your case, I'd rather that you not be hurt - and still be happy with whatever world you all end up with.
You'd be surprised. [But okay.] The thing is, you can't always make everyone happy. Someone else's happiness is always gonna be in the way of somebody else's. In the end, we're all going to be stuck together and ruling a new world, and we can figure out how to work together, but what do you think is worse? Ruling a world where you lost a competition on your own merit? Or losing a contest knowing someone tried to make you promises and they were broken while trying to make someone else happy?
But that's... I really don't think everyone's worlds are even that different is the thing. Maybe that's what I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around - but I like the idea that you and Piety have about balance.
...yeah. I do, too. [And he might only admit that sometimes.] The ideas might be similar but it's a bunch of clashing personalities trying to figure out how to make it work. You think you're confused? Try being a part of this pantheon.
It might be. But at least I've got more experience than the rest of them, I think. [A shrug.] When you're all gone we'll have to make all of our own decisions anyway.

Sure. Who'd turn down advice from a god?

.... you have a point.
I know you do.

I wish you all the best once I'm gone - but I've been saying that I think being a god sounds like a loooot of work.
