Most of you picked gods based on what their names mean to you. Or because you wanted something you thought a god with that name could give you.

[Ruin shrugs.]

You're playing for your own personal reasons, so I thought you'd choose for personal reasons too.

[Ruin starts to say something, but stops before the words come out. ...godly magic? Or just second-guessing? Hmm.

A moment or two passes before the god speaks again.]

You know any of us will have the power to bring him back if you win, right? If that's what you want.

I can't say.

[Ruin shrugs delicately.]

There are things all of us can't say.

...it's about your god, and the kind of world she really wants to make.

[Ruin shrugs again.]

I'm not able to say more than that. So sorry! ♡

I'm going to make the kind of world where anyone can live their lives if they're willing to work for it. Aside from that, the specifics don't really matter to me that much. What I want is to be the one in charge of the gods.

[she giggles]

Why do you think the others hate the idea of me winning so badly? My type of world wouldn't be bad for anyone, but they hate the idea of having to answer to me. So they use my name to make people think the kind of world I want will be a nightmare. Which isn't true at all!

Oh, please.

[Can you practically see her rolling her eyes behind her mask... because she is]

The "reluctant leader" thing... Everyone says they want that, but in practice, the people who don't want to be in charge but end up there anyway just end up pushing the work on everyone else.

If I'm just going to end up picking up someone else's slack, why not go for the top spot myself?

Why not? If I know I could do a job, why should I pretend I don't want to be the leader?

I want to be in charge because I know I'll be the best fit, silly. ♡

A world is a world. People live in it. I'm not going to say I have some lofty goal like I'll make sure everyone who lives there is beautiful or their lives will be one big party like some people will.

But I can say I'll make sure it runs right.

Because everyone else is focused on making things that will last forever. But what they don't realize is that nothing should last that long.

You're going to get a job someday, aren't you?

[Ruin's going somewhere with this, promise.]

So, you find a job you like.

Only the person who had that job never leaves it. They stay forever and ever and ever, and there's never room for anything new.

Sometimes things have to come to an end, or else there can't be any progress at all. That's life. ♡

It means it will be functional. Everything and everyone has its time. When that happens, something new will come up in its place.
