The purpose behind talking to all of you is the different perspectives, Sieg-kun. Your experiences still matter greatly even if you've only been alive for a short time.
All twelve of us value different things. That is why there's such a range of people here. We couldn't even really agree on who to bring. You were just the ones who said yes.
Somewhat, yes. We didn't pick the names but they're all virtues we embody or strongly believe in and align ourselves with for various reasons. I can't think of any of us who could dispute the name.
[...] That's a very good reason to be here, Sieg-kun. Do you believe you can?
Ruin's also a bit terrifying, though she's fine with others. Her ideas could be good if her methods and reasoning weren't so...opposing. [Hm.]
I should hope that no one would die here for no reason at all. That isn't the intent here. Though the idea of a wish makes determination easier to hold, doesn't it?
Perhaps not, but I don't speak with her that often. [...] More or less, yes. The intent is to find a winner to rule over all of us, and we're to follow their orders to run the pantheon. It's why so many of us have conflict over who should rule.
I'll probably pass on that. I don't think she likes me very much either. [There's a nod though.] That's correct. And it depends on who the winner is. Some of us are more likely to listen than others.
[He's pretty sure they're still going to get stuck together, they might as well have a working relationship.] I guess it's your choice but... If you're going to work together, it's important to be able to talk.
I tried to kill Mordred and she tried to kill me, but we work together alright. [The Holy Grail War is a lot, don't worry about it.]
Ah... Yes, there are definitely some very strong personalities here too.
Caster summoned a highly destructive golem and we were trying to stop it. Since we had a common goal we could set our differences aside for the time. ... After that we had to eliminate Jack the Ripper, so our fight was on hold as well.
We talked a little bit after that was all over. If humans are worth protecting or not... there's no right or wrong choice according to her.
Interesting chain of events. [And also, yikes.] I suppose that's how this competition goes for the participants as well. You learn to work together toward a common goal. I wish it were as simple for us as gods, but we still have a lot of work to do.
If she did not have an opinion on humanity and protecting it, do you?
Mm... Maybe you'll have more time after this is over.
Her answer wasn't very satisfying for somebody who wanted to be king. ... I want to protect humanity. They deserve the chance to grow and become better. They might not take it, and they might be cruel to each other... but they still deserve to live.
Well, we'll be together for eternity after this. I suppose that's long enough.
...and that opinion is how you style your playing of this game, isn't it? Believing everyone here deserves to live as well. I can't say that's the worst way to approach it. Humanity can be beautiful if given the chance.

... I haven't been alive for very long, so you might want to talk with more than just me about it.

[Sieg nods to himself.]
I just want to stop a well-intentioned but highly destructive wish.

[...] That's a very good reason to be here, Sieg-kun. Do you believe you can?
no subject
Is that why so many of you are worried about Ruin?
I can keep the mechanism far away from people if I don't win. I know I can do that much.
I'd like to win, but that's dependent on a lot of people. I don't intend to die for no reason here.

[Stares down this week's trial.]
The intent is to find a winner, right? Are you all bound to respect the outcome?
It does.

The ruler will also create the world, right? Do you think whoever the winner is will listen to input?

That's makes sense. You have strong personalities.

Some of us more than others...but I suppose that's no different than some of you. It's been interesting learning more about you as participants.

Wishes... can be dangerous. But they can be good too.

I know Amakusa wanted humanities salvation. Chiron wanted his divinity. Atalante wanted every child to be loved.
[Technically as the person presiding over the mini holy grail war in the grail, he knows every wish inside of it.]
... If you thought this was dangerous, why did you agree to it?
