[They're thoughtful, at least, but also maybe trying to figure out what exactly he's talking about given there's a tilt of the head and a period of silence.]
...some people would say that suffering is a way that we grow. But that doesn't mean it has to be meaningless or mindless. And didn't that guy lead a rebellion or whatever? That's not what this is.
He did... a lot of things. [Sieg can't condemn him entirely, even if he's sure the way he was going about his goals was wrong.] But he still thought he was doing what was right.
I guess... What I'm asking is, what kind of a world you're going to make after all of this is through?
[That's a valid point. Okay, they can give them that.]
Ideally? A word where people will be able to be themselves without being judged. [That seems important.] And a world where people aren't afraid to be who they are. I know it's a little silly to say I want a peaceful world but we can dream, right?
That's so sweet of you! [That makes them happy.] I think...together? We can win this thing. We just have to make sure my numbers are the highest at the end of this contest.
...your heart is in the right place. I hope you're right. [That would be wonderful, wouldn't it?] Be kind and listen to the people around you. If they feel supported, maybe they'll ask for help before it comes down to hurting everyone else.
I think if you talk to people here and prove you're more than what you were created for nobody's going to mind. I knew someone like you once who was born with a different purpose. He turned out pretty okay.
Maybe another time. [They sound regretful.] There's only so much I can say right now since we've just met, but I want to continue getting to know you. It's just one of our rules, in a way.
You can visit me any time, Sieg-san. Leave an offering or a prayer and I'll answer. [But there's a pause.] Sort of. We have our own guidelines among ourselves that we made up, but we didn't really plan that well. I'm afraid I can't tell you much more than that though. I'm sorry.

I thought the gods couldn't get involved in things directly?
no subject
Is it really getting directly involved if we're offering you guys advice?
no subject
The rules were very sparse.

I can at least do that much, even I don't know how much people will ask a homunculus like me for help.

Are your rules different than the ones we have?

... Speaking of guidelines though, there's twelve of them. Did all the gods write one for us?
no subject
We couldn't agree on a full set, so we all pitched in. Do they help?
