I'm open to being won over!

[HE IS, THOUGH. That's so much better than murders and stuff?]

And you were the one who said we would need all three of our wishes to make certain we get our world back, yes?

But you said that the others might undo our... your work with a wish of their own, didn't you?

[Also oh no, the hard questions. He looks down at the sand, trailing his fingers through it aimlessly.]

In truth... I've no idea. I do not know enough yet to figure out what I want.

... Mm. But this is not a good place for such things...

[He's quiet for a little while before looking up at Emet.]

In truth... I would like to learn more about how the wishes are granted. What gives the Producers such vast power. What the true price for it is. If we could control it for ourselves instead of having our wishes granted... that would be a much more certain way, wouldn't it?

[He nods, expression serious.]

Certainly. But must that hope be won through such pointlessly cruel measures like the games? You know better than anyone that form and true essence are very different things. By all accounts, there are plenty of other shows that are not nearly as violent as this one.

My guess would be that the continuous generation of emotions is at least one of the Producers' goals. And... Glory had an interesting observation that perhaps our memories are taken from us for a reason - part of the price, perhaps? I'm curious whether that's a byproduct of the whole business of bringing us here, or intentional.

Ah, worry not. Tampering with it would require being in a position of power to do so - that is, becoming a demon, and that's not something I can do. No, it's knowledge I'm after - and with enough knowledge, would it not be possible to change this system? It's also a curious thought that they focus so much on... well, negative emotions. Perhaps simply because it's easier to orchestrate?

You know, you don't sound like you're particularly in a hurry to learn more, Hades. Is it the hardships of old age?

[Mostly teasing!]
