I understand. I've thought similar things myself before--that the one good thing about Raijuu, Shuten, and Abi and all of the others being gone--is that they're not being tortured.
But I think--that's just something we tell ourselves to try to ease our pain. It's a different kind of suffering to be separated from the people you love--to never know when or if you'll see them again. And there's not really any real certainty that the program they've been moved to isn't also equally or more cruel.
And worse--this place has shown that it has no difficulties finding more souls to fill the empty seats left behind.
[ And that's why it's so important that they get this to stop. ]
...mmn. You're right. [She runs a hand over her face.] Maybe it's just another bandaid in the end. [But something Hiryuu says...kinda hangs in her mind.]
...if we are all able. To eventually escape. Put a stop to this production. Return to our lives...whatever those may be.
Do you think we'll ever see each other again, after that?
If my understanding is correct, the means to traverse the worlds always existed for both the inhabitants of hell and heaven. I don't know that that would stop existing even if we did destroy this place.
... If I'm truly realistic, the odds are that this place will have to continue to operate in some capacity. However, if we can infiltrate and revolutionize it so that it is no longer hell in anything but name, perhaps there won't be any need to take that sort of risk.

Re: Day 337
Sometimes, part of me wishes they would.
I would miss them terribly. But I would also know they weren't being hurt by the games anymore.

Re: Day 337
[A small, wistful smile comes on her face.] If I could travel to other worlds freely. I think I'd like to see your and Leviathan's world, sometime.
