And what would you do if something happened to you instead? That's kind of a risk I don't think you should take.

[heartmunculus]

Then I'd die. That's-- I don't think you'd like me to say I'm fine with that. But at least I wouldn't be risking somebody else.

[In some ways he's used to that.]

Is there any way to stop Strung Red? Or is Julius going to die too?

[divus]

I really would prefer you didn't say that, no, but I get the point. [There's a sigh.]

...I'm working on it, Sieg-san. I promise. This wasn't what I wanted either, but I also didn't want Itachi-san to do what he did. If I could change things, I would have immediately. I don't want more death on our hands.

[...] You don't think the power could also be used for good?

[heartmunculus]

[He doesn't want more death on their hands either, but with what's currently the largest faction they definitely have more targets. With that spread it's also likely people won't talk to Love before acting.

That's true in both Itachi and Sieg's cases.]

Okay. I trust you. [Because he wants to. Because he hopes that Julius won't fall victim to his curiosity.]

I think it's possible, but it's also difficult. I don't know who the victim or the murderer is going to be in advance.

... If somebody tries to kill me I can bring them down with me.

[divus]

...I'm the best of us at breaking curses. I have a higher chance since it's my powers, but that's if one of the other gods doesn't try to interfere. I don't want to see Kresnik-san die. We don't need that on our shoulders, too.

I can admire your self-sacrificial attitude but what if you attach yourself to a killer and they bring you down instead? How is that fair?

[heartmunculus]

Who were you before you became Love? It sounds like you were a mage if you have experience with breaking curses.

Everything for your champions is temporary here, right? ... But how would you recommend I use it?

[divus]

[There's a laugh.] I guess you could say something like that! It's nothing that important.

...but yeah. Everything is temporary. The powers will leave when you leave. [There's a thoughtful noise then.] ...meet more people, see who may need the extra boost to learn how to work together and get along. Maybe don't randomize people next time.

[heartmunculus]

Even if you say that, I can't help but be curious.

[He nods.] Alright. I'm sure you're busy at the moment.

Is Monday okay for you?

[divus]

Maybe someday. It's...part of our rules, I guess! Can't say too much too fast, you know?

My time will always be yours if I can make it. But Monday's okay.
