[Here's another newbie! Jessica turns on the recording, has that awkward moment of waiting for it to start.]

now? ok! Hello everyone! I'm Jessica. I'm new here and I've got a few questions.

[She holds up one finger.] Is killing kaiju the only way to make money around here?
[A second finger.] What sort of style clothes do you wear to a wedding in this town?
[A third finger.] Does anyone have experience setting up a shrine?

Thanks in advance! If I can help any of you out with healing or monster clean-up, count on me!

[She flashes the camera a smile, then has another moment of blinking and fumbling to disconnect the recording.]

[ She's not getting through to him, huh? She supposes she should get serious. Well, even more serious. All of this is very important! And that's the last thing she'll say on the matter. ]

Do you now why there is a need for an Underworld?
It would be simpler for the souls to directly return to the root and be reborn.
Well, it's because most human souls carry sorrow with them upon dying.
The things they wish they could have done while alive...
The regrets born from lives unlived.

Though it takes different forms in different culture,
The Underworld is a place for human souls to find peace.
And what I know all gods who reign over death wish for,
Even if sometimes we don't realize it,
Is that someday, Underworlds will no longer be needed.
Not because humans have overcome death,
But because they have learned to live their lives fully and die with no regrets.

I shall no longer talk to you of this. However...

I ask you think on this question:
The day this fleeting chance in this distant world is gone,
Will you be happy with what you did of your time here?
Or will you mourn the possibilities you denied yourself and are now gone forever?

You need not answer now.
I only ask you remember this question.

I can answer you now.

Everything I have done, including my attempt at destroying the world, I’ve done because I believed it was the best course of action. As you have pointed out to everyone, I don’t have the time to regret what-ifs.

I’m ending the conversation here. Any more will be indulging whatever delusion of romance that you so desperately want to see bloom between us. I suggest you use that energy on your own romantic endeavors instead.
