So he thought that meant that you didn't feel bad for telling someone else his alignment - even if it was someone as trustworthy as Ray-kun. I get it, but....
Shishimaru sometimes needs things to be said out loud in order to understand him. Telling him that you're friends, that you care about him, that you're sorry if you make a mistake.
... I didn't want to apologize for telling Ray-kun, because I think Ray-kun is a good person, and I think that someone like him knowing... Will mean Takaomi-kun will be safer in the long run.
But I should have apologized to him for telling anyone, because it was without his permission.
... I know what you mean. You did it in his best interest, right?
But... that guy is bad with trust, and he thinks relationships are heavy, and bonds are fragile. He's... I think sometimes he's scared to let people in a lot.
So please tell him you're sorry, if only for not asking him first if you could protect him. I think he'll get it a little better then.
[ Madoka nods, then just stares at Senri for a kind of long moment.
Senri lied to her once, and he's referred to himself as someone with a lying habit.
But she also thinks - it makes more sense that he would lie to her when they barely knew each other. It's sort of 'fair enough,' in a way. It doesn't necessarily mean that he had lied to someone he knew from back home like Takaomi, too.
... As interesting as that is to wonder about, she doesn't want to pry. She tries to lighten the mood a little bit, offering: ]
Everyone has things they're sensitive to. Kyouko-chan hated it when people wasted food.
Um... I think it's the same for me. I don't like people who don't at least consider the impact they have on other people. I don't like people who trick other people.
You already apologized for that. I think... I don't like it, but it doesn't bother me as much on such a small scale. It's not good, but... It's not so bad either to tell a small lie to someone you don't know very well yet.
It bothers me when it's tricking a lot of people. When it's hurting a lot of people.
I guess that's why I struggle with this game sometimes - it's meant to reward people who'll tell lies, and get away with them. But not small lies. Sometimes they're really big.
... some people that I know think that Piety is the best choice to be the leader for the new world. I don't know how much you talk to him... but I think that you should.
I think that if we can get enough people to switch to him in the final week, then he can win, and we can leave behind a world that we all like. On top of that, if he's one of the gods that can grant wishes, or at least small favors to even people who aren't on his team at the end - then everyone could get something at least a little good out of this.
I'm... trying to tell people that's the best idea right now, so hopefully as many people can get their wishes as possible.
It's more like... some gods will choose to do it, and some won't. If Cheri wins, he'll try to give people things even if they're not on his team. I think Love would too. Beauty....
Then that sounds nice... I think that being willing to give people something for going through all this is more kindness than bribery, too...
Would it be this weekend that everyone is supposed to align with Piety? Will we get a chance to change alignments again after next week, if next week is the end...?
One more week... I think. I'm trying to figure it out - because not all the gods will be able to host if we end it in six weeks. So hold off until I figure it out, Madopyon. And - let me know if you decide to leave Cunning. I don't know who his other followers are, so I just want to make sure someone stays with him, you know?

I didn't want to be stubborn and keeping bothering him if he didn't like me.

That guy...
He only hates liars.
He's kind of picky about who he hangs out with, and he's short-tempered, and difficult to get along with because you can't read his mind.
[ . . . ]
But he wouldn't dislike anyone that he knows is trying their best, who just wants him to be safe.

Okay. I'll let you know... I need to talk to Piety, too... It doesn't work if we don't believe in their cause, after all.
