[k] [charaFace B 4] ＠Ereshkigal I really thought I wouldn't mind disappearing.[sr]After all, there was something I valued more than myself. [k] ＠Ereshkigal ...So I figured, as long as that was safe, it wouldn't matter if I was gone. [k] ＠Ereshkigal No... Even if I did disappear, I thought your world would be just fine without me. [k] ＠Ereshkigal ...But honestly, I was really anxious. [k] ＠Ereshkigal Even if nothing ended up changing, I wasn't sure if those unchanging things would remember me. [k] ＠Ereshkigal Which is why...

What was YOUR objective, Doomzy? [k] ＠Altera Santa You hated the underworld just like Nergal did. [k] ＠Altera Santa Well...I suppose your grudge should be against Ishtar and Ereshkigal. They're the ones who took your power and your life, after all. [k] ＠Altera Santa So why did you help Ereshkigal?

Yes, Ereshkigal may have worked me to the bone, and punished me relentlessly... [k] ＠Dumuzid ...but I still owe her a debt. [k] ＠Dumuzid And, yes, Ishtar made my life hell...but I don't exactly hate her. [k] ＠Dumuzid I don't really see a problem with the fact that I once held a, uh, Goddess Downfall Appreciation Sale... [k] ＠Dumuzid ...and so I can't really blame Ishtar for making me take her place. [k] ＠Dumuzid Yes, I may have experienced great pain, and begged and pleaded for mercy, but I don't bear them any ill will. [k] ＠Dumuzid That's just how we gods think.[sr]What matters is that it all works out in the end. [k] ＠Dumuzid And this turned out very much to my liking.[sr]Though it is a shame that I wasn't able to save Nergal.

[k] ＠Dumuzid If only you didn't have those marks on your body, we could have “collaborated” in the best sense of the word.
