... I was thinking - this week I might try to share what I know with everyone. Tama-chin told me that it might be a good time to try to get all the information I don't know too...
So I was wondering - Cheri, what do you remember about how the game is supposed to end? The god that wins can grant the wishes of everyone on their team, even if their follower passed in the course of the game. But... can you grant wishes for other participants even if they weren't on your team? Is there a limit?
About how it's going to end...? Well, you've got the gist of it there. One god is picked to reign supreme. Whoever it is gets a boost in power, enough to grant their followers' desires as a reward for helping them win, and to kickstart the development of a new world. It might not be impossible to grant wishes for some of the others, too, but like... it depends on what those wishes are and how many of them are getting granted.
It takes a lot of power to make a world, you know? We're gods, but we've got limits too. I think some of us are convinced they can push past them, but I'm not totally convinced of that, myself. All we can do is our best.
... that's what I thought. So say - if there were wishes to be granted for everyone, living and dead, then the wishes for the people not on the god's team would probably be smaller, right? Whereas if say, some people gave up their wishes and said that others can be granted, the lesser in number, the bigger they could be?

Madopyon's - reducing the entropy of the universe - if she still wants it... How big would it be, compared to mine, finding my mother?
Is... Could something bad happen, if a god tries to push their limits? You all still have to rule a world after all...
Not probably, definitely. We can't work big miracles for people who aren't on our team. If we could, what would be the point of even having teams in the first place?
[Some people are going to come out of this with more than others. That's just a part of the way the game is set up.]
It might be possible to swap stuff around, but like you said, some wishes are bigger than others. Madoka-chan's wish is big enough that she'd have to be on the winning team to get it. Finding your mom... to guarantee it, you'd need to be on a winning team, but it's a small enough thing that we could give you a hint, or some extra resource that would help you do it on your own, even if you weren't on the victor's team.
Pushing our limits could be real bad for the world we have to rule over. If you guys care at all about how this world is going to turn out, you won't ask us to try it.
Mm... What about - swapping wishes? [he hesitates, because he knows that he mentioned this in the very beginning, after what happened to Shiki] ... I know I came here because there's something I wanted more than anything else. Someone who could love me unconditionally but...
[ . . . ]
I might've... found that anyway - if I don't mess it up before the end.
I might not need my wish anymore.
Could I take Ray-kun's...? Luke-kun's....? If I were to win.
[he sighs softly]
And there's no way to get you more power...? I don't really get how the whole godly thing works...
If you swapped it entirely, maybe. It's not, like, an exact science or anything - we know for sure that we can grant the desires that the members of our team came here wanting in the first place, so in theory you should be able to give up your wish for someone else.
[But why should he have to?]
...it'd be nice if there was some magic bullet that could give us more power, Sen-chan, but I don't think there is. It's not the way this contest was set up.
[senri just sighs quietly as he slumps, letting his head rest in his hands]
Well, I thought I'd ask. The worst thing that could happen is I get told 'no'. I'm not as good at thinking up plans or the right things to question as Taka or Ray-kun, so instead I just try to ask a lot of questions and hope that I can get at least one good thing out of them.
.... well, I always thought that my life could use a little more sincerity. I lied a lot before I came here, you know, and I'm not even sure if I'll stop once I go back home...
[well. he'll try. taka hates lying, anyway.]
But....
It's truer than I thought - that I would want to be like you.
...but to be like me, all you need to do is to be true to yourself. That's all I do, you know? I am who I am, no matter what other people think. And maybe you shouldn't dress just like me or talk just like me or any of that, but I think being yourself is the best thing anyone can be.

[Sincerity can't hold that against him, all things told.]
I'm still kicking some ideas around, but yeah, it's looking like it'll be the two of us. You guys are in for a fun week.

[and senri will at least relax a little bit at that, taking a sip of tea]
Ahh, I'm so excited.... Tama-chin said he might be able to get me a theater. Will you come and watch a show of mine?
