Exactly. The best we can do is give suggestions on how we feel about specific names that are given to us--but even then, we can't express why we may feel a certain way about that individual.
[Piety nods in understanding.]
It's difficult. Especially now, with so many of us in low numbers, I'm sure a lot of people are feeling scared. Trusting someone can be opening yourself up to betrayal. But, still...you're a warm person. I think that you can do much more than you give yourself credit for.
... well.... if it's someone that Ishirin-san has known since the beginning of the game... that probably means that their coin is perfect, right? If I can figure out who it is... I'll see what I can do to protect them.
[oh god it's so complicated and senri is a fucking moron,]
I'll keep working... but I wanted to ask about something that Cunning told me too. About how a god's vision might not come out perfectly if not all of their followers believe in it?
I think what he might have meant is that...if one of us won, and the rest of us were aware that they won without having the genuine support of their followers, it would draw us only farther away from harmony.
[He can't help but sigh, thinking about it.]
After all, the point of having this competition in the first place was to have a third party come to a natural majority in favor of a single party. Some of us may not be opposed to underhanded methods to keep that majority, but I think after the idea was presented to attempt to end the game early by aligning everyone under a single god, it's put a lot of us on edge.
