[The things Reira told him about the arcade sounded so wonderful, and yet...there were some issues. The fact that the fourth god was clearly a child was great but...was everything what it seemed? Could they trust a god, even a child god, who considers adults to be friends? And what about what Haru had told him? About how one god wanted to send them home and the other wanted them to stay?]
[For a while, Nagisa just stares at the screen of his laptop, mulling things over in his head, debating, figuring out what he wan'ts to say. But, eventually his fingers find the keys and he begins to type, a look of concentration on his face.]
My name is Shingetsu Nagisa, and I was told that this was the only way to contact you, short of leaving you a note in your arcade. Akaba said that you don't have a body, but that you are connected to all our laptops and can see what we type. If that's true, then I have a few questions for you, fourth god, if you would be willing to answer them.
From what I have been told, I can only assume that you are a child. Or as close to a child as a deity can be, I suppose. And if that is the case, that automatically gives me more reason to trust you over the fog god.
However, I have also heard that you consider some adults to be your friends. That you allow them into the safe place you have created. And I am both concerned and confused by this. Adults are demons (not the monster species that exists here, for clarification), they are not friends. Your arcade sounds like a true paradise for children, and such paradises cannot exist in a world where adults hold all the power. Eventually, they will undo what you have built. That's just their nature as demons and you would be better off killing any that come near, rather than welcoming them across the threshold.
So why? For what reason do you trust these adults? Admittedly, my companion and I have both met adults here who do not seem to have become demons as they grew up...but surely that cannot be true of every adult monster here. It's just not possible. Even one or two is a rarity that I can scarcely believe to be true.
I also wish to know what your goals are. Why you oppose the fog god, and what you will do if you are successful in defeating her. I have heard that it is because you wish to send us back to our own universes. But I have little desire to return home. It's quite possible that I would be dead right now if not for the fog god's intervention.
[He's still so hazy on the details of this. He doesn't remember dying, but...what if it was just a case of perfect timing? This is something that's been bothering him ever since he arrived on that train. As much as he says he'd rather die than grow up, the fact that that may actually be true now is kind of terrifying. He still has things he wants to accomplish! If going back home means dying, then...]
I would rather stay here. Even if I would have survived without her help, the only things worth returning home for would be the other Warriors of Hope. And even then, I think we would all be better off here than there. But I suppose I've strayed away from my original point here. So, to get back on topic: the person who told me about the reason for your conflict was not Akaba, but rather someone who I do not think follows either of you. He said you were both annoying, and that he didn't pay attention to the details of your conflict. So I wish to know the truth before I decide to cast my lot with either of you.
[Finally, he stops typing. Just for a few moments, though he still stares hard at the screen. Is that really how he wants to end it? No. No it's not.]
I suppose that's all for now. I feel as though there was more I needed to ask but nothing seems quite as important right now. I want to find somewhere saw for my companion and I to stay and, right now, you seem like the safest option. But as much as I want to put my trust in you, I can't yet. Not without facts directly from the source. So, if you really are listening...
[Wow, that's really not any less abrupt of an ending than what his first one would have been. Good going there, Nagisa. You just kind of awkward trailed off there. In text. What an accomplishment. But he can't think of anything else to say to conclude his thoughts, so it is what it is.]
[Now to wait.]
[He's just going to sit in front of his laptop and stare at the screen all night if he has to. Waiting. Watching. Wondering if this whole attempt was pointless.]
