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?
