That doesn't sound very good. But...I guess that's not totally wrong either. Somebody decided to kill as an indulgence, even if we don't know why. And you know what happens the more you indulge.

[gamerbrain]

If you didn't want people to kill, why not just lie and say that it doesn't count...?

[probe]

Because we can't lie about those kinds of rules when it really does count. When the whole game's about indulging...we can't exactly say things don't count when they count a little too much sometimes.

[gamerbrain]

... Aoi doesn't like to lie, either...

[ which she supposes is basically the same thing. ]

[probe]

Yeah. I wish we could lie and change things, too. I'm sorry.

...are you worried about it happening again?

[gamerbrain]

[ aoi nods... ]

It might. People want their wishes really bad.

[probe]

What about you? How bad do you want yours?

[gamerbrain]

... Aoi is just here to collect CGs.

[probe]

[...aoi.]

Wait, seriously?

[gamerbrain]

Yep. It seemed like a good chance. And Aoi can help other people with their indulgences.

[probe]

But what happens if you run out of CGs to collect?

[gamerbrain]

... Then Aoi would... Disappear. If Aoi can't fulfill her purpose, there's no reason for Aoi to exist.

[probe]

[they spoon up some ice cream before humming to themselves.]

But what about if you found a different purpose? Is that allowed?

[gamerbrain]

Nope.

[probe]

Why not? Who's really stopping you?

[gamerbrain]

God.

[probe]

...but...aren't you...?

[help.]

[gamerbrain]

Aoi is an Avatar of God, so Aoi has to act on God's behalf.

[probe]

Okay, but what if God changed the plan? Would you have to follow that, too? And God's not here anyway.

[gamerbrain]

God has never changed the plan before, but Aoi supposes she would have to follow a new one.

But God is never here. That's why Aoi is here, on behalf of God.

[probe]

Okay but if God isn't here, how do you know what God wants you to do? You could change your mind without God actually knowing.

[gamerbrain]

Aoi knows, because Aoi was created by God for this purpose.

Aoi could change her mind and do something else, but then Aoi would disappear. Aoi has to fulfill her purpose.

[probe]

Aoi--you wouldn't have to disappear if you had enough power to change everything.

[gamerbrain]

[ she doesn't seem to really understand. it's fine. ]

... Aoi came here to ask about indulgences...

[probe]

Oh. [that's at least something they can maybe explain better.] What kind of questions do you have? I can do my best to answer.
