[ it's a good thing being stupid isn't a dealbreaker for medea. ]

I'm not trying to instigate a debate on morality. [ it's not something that matters to her as much as others. it's more that she's trying to see what lines he's going to draw since he's a pretty good person, all things considered. ] The fog covers up truth. Finding the truth is important, but is revealing it?

[ he raises an eyebrow but he doesn't say whether she should or shouldn't debate it. instead, he settles on a shrug. ]

For us, finding and revealing the truth was what saved the world from Izanami's plan for humanity. [ so yes, important. ] ... if we had stopped before we found out the whole truth, we would've caught the wrong guy, and the real culprit would've released the Shadows into our world to erase it.

How many people know about this goddess? You and your friends? The ones she was controlling?

What about the general public? How much do they know about everything you've been doing?

Just us. Namatame and Adachi don't remember the exact specifics of how they got their power. We only started thinking it through because Adachi wrote Yu a letter about their powers. [ but he shakes his head. ]

The general public knows nothing about Izanami or what the actual Midnight Channel is. We told Yu's uncle about the TV world, but not everything else about what happened after that.

[ so yeah. just seven kids and a bear basically. and the velvet room attendants but that's a whole other issue. ]

Your friends are all around your age, I imagine, and the only adult is the uncle.

[ well, it's not like she wasn't offering war tactics at his age. ]

It's still a small group that knows the truth of it.

Yeah, pretty much. [ he isn't going to argue the semantics about teddie or go into detail about it because she has the basic point of it all. ]

It's the thing that brought us all together, but it's not the only thing tying us together. Because of it though, we all kind of feel the same way about being as honest with ourselves as we can. Maybe the rest of the world's not ready to face themselves, but this was the fate we chose. [ zero regrets though. ]

[ she doesn't know what teddie looks like or how old he is, but he's classified as other in her mind. ]

That's all that matters in the end, isn't it?

Yeah. I... things have calmed down and the TV world's back to what it used to be before the fog came in, but some of us are still on guard. You know, just in case.

[ why the hell else did he show up in purgatory with his gear? ]

But if something else comes up, we'll take care of it. We fought too hard for the truth and for this outcome, so you're right. That's all that matters in the end.

It's better to have caution than to be taken completely off guard.

[ paranoia isn't always harmful. ]

You want your peace to last.

What's the point of having this power if I can't use it to protect people? [ idly said, but with no less conviction. ] But that's what it comes down to. I don't disagree.

[ ... ]

Peace is really only going to last if I get us out of here. [ this could be regarding everyone in purgatory, but for once he means himself and the person in his shard. ] So I have to keep doing my best and stay on guard where I can.

I think you'll be fine in that regard.

[ she does think he gives the maze what it wants without too much issue. she goes back to picking at the fruit on her plate. ]

... thanks, Medea-san.

[ he's more concerned about other people, really, but what else can be done? but he will let that hang and continue eating his fill in this cuddle pile for warmth for the next while until everything wears off and they split up. ]
