[His seventh day here. Hero's been restless, but not restless enough to go wandering around in the rain. He's grateful that he has time to think, but... being pulled away to this place just hours before making the biggest decision of his life? It feels a bit like taking a deep breath and never exhaling

Feeling philosophical?

[headphones_nyan]

Just curious.

[invidia_keeper]

To answer your question: neither.

[headphones_nyan]

Neither...?!

Then who?

[invidia_keeper]

I'm a hero, that's you.

I'd never have to make such a choice.

[headphones_nyan]

...You're no fun.

Then what if I asked you to choose for me?

[invidia_keeper]

Hah hah ha.

Don't you think everyone should be treated equally?

[headphones_nyan]

You'd save everyone?

[invidia_keeper]

I think, that favoritism or bias shouldn't be an issue.

[Sorry Hero, he's not saying more than that. But considering Daddy Dearest picked favorites and liked your sacrifice of sheep more than his of crop...

yeah let's not go there :|.]

[headphones_nyan]

And if you had someone unbiased on your side?

[invidia_keeper]

The question is still biased. Innocence is relative.

[headphones_nyan]

When I say "unbiased," I mean...

[...Actually... maybe it wouldn't be a good idea to mention the G-word to Naoya. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to know that he's not that fond of the man upstairs, especially considering the things Naoya was saying during his little "game" in the lockdown. That, and Hero hasn't exactly mentioned that "Messiah" thing to him.]

...What do you think innocence is, Naoya?

[invidia_keeper]

Innocence at it's purest only exists when you're first born.

...and, apparently not even then either. [Yeah he's talking about the original sin.]

But it doesn't matter to me.

[headphones_nyan]

Why not?

[invidia_keeper]

There are more important things.

[headphones_nyan]

[He's not quite following you, Naoya.]

Like what?
