I believe in him as well, but I also can't quite blame him for being upset. My name shall be fine. This isn't the first time my name has been a topic of discussion.
No, I don't either. Senri ... had a rough time, today. I wonder who chose to do that to him today, and why. [ He clearly doesn't believe it was Sasuke. ]
... I just wanted to show you my support. [ A faint smile. ] That's all. If given a choice, you'd choose to help, wouldn't you?
That's very kind of you. [Nothing to say about who may or may not have cursed Senri because that's not Beauty's business or secret to tell.] I would appreciate you being kind to him as well.
[There's a pause, Beauty thinking on this for a moment.] ...in a game like this, you'll need as much help as you can get. It's hardly fair to bring you here and leave you to your own devices.
Of course. Senri is a friend. I'll look after him ... the same way I know he's looking after me.
[ With gentleness, and real warmth. It's clear he cares about Senri a lot. ]
You're a kind person, Beauty. I hope that we can spend more time together, and get to know one another. [ A slight smile. ] ... can I ask you something? What kind of world is it you want to create?
Yes, that's exactly right. However, how often do people find themselves bound by their own names, stuck in the idea that they have to be something solely based on that?
[Beauty doesn't allow time for an answer.] The kind of world I wish to create is a world where everyone is capable of living outside of what they've obtained solely by lineage. While a name may grant an advantage in the world, I've found it may also be equally limiting. I want a world where people can live beyond what's expected of them, experience new things in life and have a reason to have fun every day with people and learn new things.
A constant world of change and growth. It sounds nice, doesn't it?
I come from a world where lineage comes above all else, followed closely by wealth. While we've been granted many opportunities others will never receive, it does come at a certain price of potentially sacrificing happiness if we can't find a way to incorporate both.

I'm not the one whose name got dragged through the mud in there.
... Senri will come around. I believe in that.

I have a question for you before that, actually. What's in a name, Narukami-kun?
no subject
... that gets a blink. ]
... a lot of things, isn't there? [ He tilts his head curiously. ] It can capture the essence of what it names. A name can even contain hidden truths.
[ He's aware of the multi-layered ironies of his own name, given what his powers turned out to be. Gods, and lightning. ]

... it sounds like you've thought about it a lot, [ he'll eventually say. ] And it does sound like a fun place to be.
It sounds like you have a lot of experience, dealing with lineage. [ This is offered without judgment, but he is curious. ]
