To be honest, I would rather waste the least possible amount of energy on Kyubey and get it to leave, rather than try to argue with it. I've pretty much internalized Kyubey as a sort of asshole AI at this point and can't muster up any real rage at the thing.

So, going back to the question about Messiahs…
They aren't Christians as far as you can tell. They talk an awful lot about the end of the world, and how they will be spared by the Messiah.
I imagine this either implies that this world does have a prophecy we aren't aware of. I wonder if Kohaku's family has ever met us, and the realization that the Messiah they've been searching for has been right in front of them for all this time.

Another thing I've been wondering is if there are any connections between Messiahs of different dimensions, though I don't remember if that has already been addressed.

There is not normally, at best they just share the tittle and don't cross paths ever outside some special cirscunstances.

The only clear connection between 2 Messiahs are the protags of SMT 1 and 2, where one needed to die for the other to come to pass.

But outside of that everything is self contained to each respective messiah.

So that we have like 3 to 4 on the same place it is obvious someone is moving the strings in the background.

Three-way Tie!!
Oh.

Oh my goodness! We have a three-way tie!

I suppose a tiebreaker is necessary.

Our options are:

[] "What do you want Kyubey?"
-[] Quickly address whatever Kyubey came here for then shoo him off.
-[] Go back to explaining things to Kohaku. You're tired.
--[] If Kyubey doesn't leave, then just explain about the Witch stuff, leaving out the Demon stuff.

[] Plan: kindly f off Kyubey

Let the tiebreaker commence!

320: Into Bed.
[X] "WHAT?!"

"Kyubey." You acknowledge his presence, "What do you want?"

"I had two matters to discuss with you." He says, stretching out on the the table. "Firstly, I'd like to return these to you."

Before you can snap at him for standing on the table, he produces two cubes of magnetite from his back. He hands them over.

"Why are you...?"

"In short, I cannot utilize them. Perhaps you will fare better." Kyubey flicks his tail, not breaking eye contact. "Second, I have discovered something alarming when I last met with you. This man, Louis, simply annihilated my form. What is he?"

"I have a question." Kohaku stares, gripping her knees.

"Are you referring to my offer--"

"Why?" Kohaku glares at Kyubey, almost snarling. "Why trick children out of their lives? Why hide behind omission?! Why?!"

"To prevent entropy, of course!"

Kohaku gasps, "They're batteries to you?!"

"That is certainly one way to rationalize it. You see, when a Soul Gem turns into a Grief Seed, a large amount of energy is released. We collect--"

"Soul... Gem?"

"Kohaku, I..." You trail off. What do you say? You're sorry?

"I was wrong about you, Kyubey." Kohaku calmly states. "You aren't a demon. You are worse."

"I don't understand." He speaks so casually. "You humans always make yourselves out to be victims, when you're only a victim of poor foresight. Whenever you make deals, you always hate the other party--"

"Get out of here, devil cat." Kohaku all but growls.

"...Very well. Yumi Konishi, try not to perish." Kyubey hops off of the table, and exits through an open window.

You sigh, holding your head. Dealing with Kyubey is always a headache, and it doesn't help that you're tired. But you aren't worried about yourself right now. "You okay, Kohaku?" You ask softly.

"I am not." She replies despondently, "Listen, I know I made a big deal about you explaining things now, but can we continue another time? I just need to--"

"I get it, 'Haku!" You try to keep a good mood up, but you don't think you're doing a good job. "Let's call it here for tonight, okay?"

"Did you... Call me 'Haku?" She stares at you, "I can't believe you still remember that."

"I remember a lot of things!" You pat her on the back, "And the thing that I'm remembering right now is that it's bedtime. Let's call it a night."

"...Okay. I'll try to... Process everything as quick as I can, and then we'll keep going. Sound good?"

"Whatever you're comfortable with." You smile. "Now, get ready for bed, and try not to use all the hot water."

"No promises." Kohaku softly smiles back at you. When Yuma comes out of the bathroom in her pajamas, Kohaku enters.

"Goodnight, Big Sis Yumi...!" Yuma groggily says, headed straight for bed.

You sigh to yourself. You slip into your own pajamas quickly, deciding you don't want a shower tonight.

Thankfully, sleep comes quickly.

(DREAM ROLLS, THREE: 10, 20, 1)

You're standing on the edge of a lake. As you look out, you see the usual sight of Akami Springs. You look into the lake, seeing your own reflection. Honestly, you don't know what you expected.

There's a man you don't recognize sitting on a bench. He looks at you as you approach.

"Who are you...?" You ask.

"Nobody." He replies, "Something malicious is coming. Can you feel it? I can."

"What do you...?"

He's gone, and the scenery drifts away...

...You find yourself in an empty space. Ahead of you, there are three pillars with placards before them.

The first pillar is red, almost crystalline. You can see Magatsuhi swirl around it, dancing in the dark around you.

The placard reads, "Monument of Will. Do not forget that only you can forge your own destiny."

The second pillar is a deep blue, with pulsating lines etched throughout its form. As it waxes and wanes, you feel... Warm.

This one's placard reads, "Monument of the Mind. Let your magic alter the very world around you."

The last pillar is white, but nearly broken. Inside the cracked marble, you swear you can see a jade colored interior.

The final placard reads, "Monument of Strength. Never relent, even when your body is crumbling."

You hear a voice from everywhere. "Choose." It commands.

[] Monument of Will.
[] Monument of the Mind.
[] Monument of Strength.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You find yourself in the Training Grounds. It's empty, besides yourself. You're honestly thankful for the familiar scenery...?

You feel a deep rumble from somewhere in the shadows. Then, again, only louder. It continues to grow louder and more violent each time.

Then, you hear a voice.

"Let me in!" Something growls, as another tremor occurs. Your head begins to ache...

"LET ME IN!!" You drop to your knee, holding your head as it violently pounds. You feel like throwing up...!

[] Run.
-[] Where?
[] Try to power through.
[] "What are you?!"
[] Let it in.

"Stay strong, Master!"

I think these two synergize. Either way, we are not fucking letting it in. And running will be difficult without a direction in a pitch black field.

"I refuse to give up here!"

I wonder if Mr 'Let Me In' can only enter through our mind. Another thing, seeing as to how it's our last roll, I kinda want to see Yumi sleep in late while fighting this thing.

Wonder what happened to Nanashi? Either way, 'Power Through' looks to be the Boss Battle option. Let's kick it's ass.

Honestly, if I didn't know better I'd say these are rigged, How tf did we get 3 rolls that are exactly at the beginning, middle, and end of the spectrum??
