I do as well, for some of them. Maura was an excellent teacher, and even though he's a fool, Adlet is an amusing man. Goldov has actually been my childhood friend for years now.

He didn't accept my reasoning when I tried to explain it to them though. None of them did.

[transmittable]

we wouldn't expect otherwise. people don't like their expectations and trust to be turned on its head.

is it hard? getting close to them knowing what you've set out to do.

[nachetanya]

[ . . . ]

I had hoped Goldov in particular could become my comrade in this. However, that boy lacks ambition. His only desire is to be useful to me, and to protect me.

He wants for nothing more than that.

He can't understand the sacrifices needed.

[transmittable]

he couldn't have those lives on his head, you mean.

[nachetanya]

Not just that.

There's no way, as he is now, he could understand that my life isn't precious.

[transmittable]

for your plan to work, do you have to die as well?

[nachetanya]

Not necessarily. But it also doesn't really matter if I die, after a certain point. As long as my ambitions - those I share with Dozzu - can be fulfilled then it's acceptable.

Of course, I would prefer to see that new world, but I'm not ignorant of the price I might need to pay for all I've done to create it.

[transmittable]

a girl who would sacrifice herself for the sake of the world, and who would do less than admirable things to see that world come to be. we're remembering why we chose assertive for you. we remember more with each conversation.

so you're not guaranteed to die, but it's something you've prepared for.

[nachetanya]

[ that's... interesting. She'll file that away ]

Yes.

Honestly, if we had the full cooperation of the Six Braves, none of them would need to die. The only reason the wager is relevant is because Dozzu and I need to combat Tgurneu's forces, Carggik's forces, and the Six Braves all within the thirty days it will take the Evil God to awaken.

In my memory, I had said that I should have tried to reason with them before trying to kill them. I wonder if that's correct.

[transmittable]

i think so. if all could get what they wanted, reasoning it out would be better than killing them.

if talking it over is possible, it should be the first option.

[nachetanya]

I don't know what lead up to my defeat, only that Adlet and Hans found me out.

But I had determined before it started that it was unlikely that any of them could accept Dozzu and I's reasoning...

... Actually, Misty. You asked me how I would handle that problem of time travel, would you be willing to answer about this one, if I gave you a detail I didn't the other day?

[transmittable]

how i would go about this situation if i were in it?

sure. explain to me.

[nachetanya]

Yes.

Everything is as I've already said it: the story about the Evil God, the fiends, our solution to replace it, the wager, everything. I am the Seventh Brave, and when I had started off my memories, I had just met up with the real Six Braves, and that we all have seemingly authentic crests threw everyone into chaos.

You can backtrack further, if you want, to before I met them.

However, the detail I didn't clarify was what I meant my "minimal sacrifices." In the grand scheme of the world and all of history, it is minimal. But our current estimations suggest that Dozzu and I's plan will require the deaths of 500,000 humans.

[transmittable]

now we have a confession to make. when you told us to think on your mark and who you are, that's one of the facts that came to mind. we remember the cost of your plan. it's hard not to.

the sacrifice of many for the good of the rest.

we would explore every possibility. obviously we're sure you have. but we can't say what we would do without full knowledge of your world. it would not be an easy choice.

i would want to confer with the rest of the braves.

[nachetanya]

So you value communication that heavily, to risk the plan by doing that.

I don't belittle that. After all, My own tendency towards action has been criticized before.

If I had told them upfront, to try to convince them of my point of view... they could have still rejected me as the end. And in that situation, it's entirely possible I could have been killed before anything started, as I would be an "enemy of humanity" or at very least I would lose my chance to kill one or two to make the wager easier to complete.

[transmittable]

and we won't discount that point. however, if like you we were close with some of the braves, we would hope our bonds would prevent them cutting us down without considering and trying to find a plan that would save as many as possible.

though our point of view and yours are fundamentally different. we've looked at things one way for so long that an altered point of view is something we find hard to comprehend.

[nachetanya]

If you're only seventeen, is that possible? Were you raised by the Risen?

[transmittable]

no, i wasn't. i wound up with them because of choices i made.

[nachetanya]

Is this why you have a question mark after seventeen?

[transmittable]

that's a complicated thing to explain. i'd rather not go into it.

[nachetanya]

Alright.

Do you feel more like a more serious conversation after all this, or would levity be nice?

[transmittable]

it's fine. you said you had some questions last we talked, and i've kept you waiting on those long enough.

[nachetanya]

[ It's true, she did, in those hours after all the trial was done. It's been some days. She closes her eyes, focuses, and then opens them to type back ]

Are these none of these games running right now except for ours?

[transmittable]

we can't answer that. by that we mean we literally can't. we don't know.

[nachetanya]

Can you answer if it seems likely to you?

Or if there have been ones in the past you or the Risen have been involved with?
