[Loki can take all the time he needs. Hiyori's head hurts whenever he thinks about all this, so he sympathizes. Then there's something she told him that really scared him, something so frightening he can't even bring himself to mention it. But he doesn't need to—that was something that applies to his situation, not Loki's. Loki isn't in danger, he and Jun are.]

The specific example she gave was "an emperor who proclaims war." So it sounds as though she meant someone whose actions cause a chain effect. Someone who changed a lot of people's fates, either for better or worse.

I don't know why they'd bring in regular people, either, though. Unless the people who seem normal here are destined to change the world someday and just haven't gotten around to it yet. That could apply to us idols, I suppose. I wouldn't put someone like us on the same level of an emperor who declares war, though.


[Hiyori has a big head. He's proud of his accomplishments thus far and fully intends to make history alongside the rest of his unit. But "making history" in their case refers to winning some idol competitions, gathering more fans, touring the world, and shining their brightest onstage—things that aren't (usually) a matter of life and death. They aren't emperors declaring war (even if Eichi Tenshouin, head of StarPro, and Ibara Saegusa, head of CosPro and producer of Eden, seem to fancy themselves as such).]

It sounds like we give the resort the energy it needs when we sleep with someone we wouldn't have met otherwise. I don't see why, since an encounter like that doesn't have to be anything life-changing. It could just be a way to relieve stress or boredom. But that's what she claimed. She said it wasn't just about sex, though, so I wonder if it's also about the connections we make here in general.

[But if any sort of fate-changing connection would suffice, then why, why do they keep being pushed to have sex? Is it just because the resort is run by perverts? He doesn't think they'll ever have that final puzzle piece, and it frustrates him. If they could just find something else to appease the House with...

No. It's not matter of appeasing them. You can't negotiate with monsters.

Well, you don't need my permission to go there. Unless you want me to go with you. I don't mind, of course. But she'll probably make you do a quest for her before she answers your questions.
