I have a proposal for you chosen ones.[sr]An offer for those of you who were cast aside.
[k]
＠???
If you desire acclamation, then choose rebirth.[sr]If you desire indolence, then choose eternal sleep.
[k]
＠???
It makes no difference to a god.

[lr]It makes no difference? Well, it sure as shit[sr]makes a difference to me whether I live or die.
[k]
＠
Living inevitably means struggling, while dying takes those struggles right off your plate.
[k]
＠
I've always preferred to keep things simple. I can't even dance if I've got too much on my mind.
[k]
＠
Acclaim... Power... The future of humanity...[sr]Being the best version of myself I can...
[k]
＠
Fact is, I don't care enough about myself to get worked up about any of that.

Okay, Mr. Foreign God. I hear you. But before I give you my answer, can you tell me one thing first?

[lr]I asked him if there was anything in this world[sr]that actually mattered to me...
[k]

...and he answered me without a second thought.[sr]Guess that's a god for you.

＠Beryl
Hey, Kirschtaria! So you made it back to life too, huh!?
[k]
＠Beryl
Well hey, that's awesome! I thought I'd be the first one out, but I guess I was dead wrong!
[k]
[charaFace B 0]
＠Beryl
I mean, we're talking about a Foreign God here, right? One who says he's gonna refute all of human history?
[k]
＠Beryl
I figured the only ones who'd jump on a sweet offer like that'd be me, Peperoncino, or Daybit.

Not at all. I have as much desire as the next person.
[k]
＠Kirschtaria
What could be more enticing than the prospect of creating a new human history? You'd have to be mad to refuse.
[k]
[charaFace B 6]
＠Beryl
Well damn, I stand corrected! So you've finally shown your true colors, huh, Wodime!?
[k]
[charaFace B 3]
＠Beryl
I mean, there's been times before when I couldn't believe the stuff that came outta your mouth, but still.
[k]
[charaFace B 7]
＠Beryl
Anyway, you've got a real nice smile now.[sr]I like it. It's a big relief.
[k]
＠Beryl
That smile says, “I'm gonna abandon all of humanity to their deaths so I can be the king of the goddamn world.”
[k]
＠Beryl
If you were all broken up about this while pretending to be one of the good guys, then I'd have had some serious reservations about sticking with you.
[k]
[charaFace C 12]
＠Kirschtaria
Hm? Do I really seem that different now than I did before?
[k]
[charaFace B 1]
＠Beryl
Nope, you don't! That's why I'm so happy about this! You've actually been off your rocker this whole time!
[k]
[charaFace C 4]
＠Kirschtaria
...Oh well. At least I already knew on some level that the members of Team A misunderstood me in many ways...
[k]
[charaFace B 0]
＠Beryl
Huh? Hey, don't get all gloomy on me.[sr]I like this “new” you.
[k]
＠Beryl
So, what do you want me to do, Wodime? You're the team leader, yeah?
[k]
＠Beryl
And hey, now I finally get what the whole Crypter thing was all about.
[k]
[charaFace C 1]
＠Kirschtaria
That's right. You were brought into the Singularity repair missions for emergency contingencies, weren't you?
[k]
＠Kirschtaria
You know about our secret Sirius Lights and how to use them.
[k]
＠Kirschtaria
You also know how they're designed to...deliver the decisive blow to ensure the preservation of humanity...
[k]
＠Kirschtaria
...when the foreseen Singularities appear in the seven points in human history we expect them to.
[k]
[charaFaceFade B 11 0.2]
＠Beryl
...Huh. I thought only me and Marisbury knew about the Sirius Lights. Guess you did too, huh?
[k]
＠Beryl
Or maybe the Foreign God told you? Either way, you sure cut my work out for me.
[k]
＠Beryl
Well, you guessed it, I'm the cleanup guy. It's my job to...dispose of anyone thinking about deserting their post.
[k]
＠Beryl
So, what're you gonna do with me now? Gonna kill me here while we're all alone so as not to wreck team morale?
[k]
[charaFace C 0]
＠Kirschtaria
No. I think your ruthlessness could be useful. I want to use it.
[k]
＠Kirschtaria
Eventually, everyone from Team A will be resurrected and assigned a Lostbelt.
[k]
＠Kirschtaria
From there, the Foreign God will give us each a ticket to potentially become the king of the world in exchange for growing our Lostbelt's Tree of Emptiness...
[k]
＠Kirschtaria
And I would like you to tear your ticket up. You don't mind, right? It's not as though that ticket will actually be good for anything.
[k]
＠Kirschtaria
However, you can't be reckless about it. You'll need to do it in secret, while making it seem as though you're still giving it an honest try.
[k]
[charaFace B 4]
＠Beryl
Huh? Hang on. You're telling me to betray the Foreign God, too?
