Do you think so?

[They look up, just a little.]

[requiemed]

[She nods.]

Yeah. I know some people said some pretty harsh stuff in the trial, but... A lot of people trust you, you know?

[divus]

I just wish...more people would trust me enough to support me. But I understand...why that's not going to happen. As long as I keep losing followers, I just can't help but think that I'm worthless.

[requiemed]

Merriment, Fortune, Beauty and Piety have the same number of followers. Do you think they're worthless?

[divus]

...N...no, I don't...but...

[Okay, Justice has no rebuttal, honestly.]

They're all so much more confident than I am.

[requiemed]

Then you just have to act like you know how much worth you have. Fake it ‘til you make it, you know?

[divus]

Sorry...I'm just still not used to being of much value. Maybe...it'll get easier.

[requiemed]

[She shakes her head.]

Confidence is something you have to work for. It doesn’t just get easier on it’s own.

[divus]

How do you do it? You always seem like you know just what to say whenever I talk to you, Zoe.

[requiemed]

[He gets a soft smile for that.]

Well, I'm glad I could help.
