THIS IS SO FUNNY THOUGH WHY IS HE LIKE THIS. Scaramouche's expression is impassive, giving nothing away. But there is something a little distant in the way he carries himself as he pushes back upright, heedless of any injuries he's sporting, trying to regain his footing and some dignity. They'll be taken care of soon enough, but he's not about to off himself where Akira can paw at his corpse.]
A lowly mortal creature like yourself could never hope to understand anything about a god.
[This applies to both of the things Akira's going on about, as far as he's concerned. There's no point explaining anything further. All it'll do is just make him angry, and more than even the anger, he's just. Tired.]
His roommate is truly stubborn as fuck, but at least that gets him to not immediately turn and walk away which is what he'd been planning on doing. He's quiet for a second, peering down at Akira. Not even he knows why he chooses to answer, but isn't that also like a god?]
Gods aren't beholden to any power beyond their own, so their reasoning and logic is often beyond what anyone bound by their systems could comprehend. If you want a god to stop doing something that you dislike, trying to understand them will hardly accomplish anything.
[This is the most cryptic non-answer real answer he has ever fucking heard in his LIFE.]
I want to know why They won’t give Ryo the forgiveness everyone always says They give. Why do we get God’s love, but Ryo is denied it? That’s not… love. That’s servitude.
[That's the true Talking To A God Experience, baybee!
In any case, he hates how close to home this hits, because it really do be hitting close to home. Ei isn't even particularly renowned for her love or forgiveness, but being abandoned by a god - especially one who's your creator - is painful.]
Who's to say? It could be for any reason. It could be for no reason. It could be something as complex as a need in the balance of the universe's fabric, or as mundane and simple as the belief that, for some reason, Ryo's transgressed in a way that they think should be punished. The reasons why a god does what they do are as vast as the number of stars in the sky. If you're unhappy with it, then end it.
[Scaramouche is welcome for the reminder if the existential crisis. This is why he bullied Scaramouche so much.
The Ryo parallels.]
I can’t… I can’t kill God. If I can’t beat Ryo, there’s no way I can beat God. And even if I could—what if doing that makes Ryo not exist? What if nothing exists anymore if that happens?
I just want Ryo to be happy. I want God to leave them alone if they’re not doing anything wrong, if it’s just about getting rid of the demons.
[He doesn't want this!!!!! The Ryo parallels are truly out there though, damn. Anyway imagine some purple twink just telling you to kill the wholeass Christian God. Very funny.]
I don't know how the laws of your reality work. [It'd be a risk he would take, personally, but that would give away far too much about himself! So he just leaves it unsaid.
In any case:]
If your wants are as simple as that, then the solution seems fairly simple, too.
[Just leave Ryo in Hell! Even if he would personally be furious to be parted from his chance to avenge his own abandonment, and wonders whether or not it would be the same for Ryo.]
[That’s fine… It’s not as if his blonde twink soulmate bestie has not looked him in the face and said he was gonna kill the Christian God.]
They’re scared. Ryo is scared. Of God. They’re scared that no matter where they are or go, no matter what they do, God will destroy them. They don’t think they will ever be happy.
I don’t want them to… [He trails off then sighs.] I guess it isn’t my place to decide.
[He has the very distinct feeling that Ryo would probably not want him or anyone else hearing any of this, but it's not like he can unhear it, so he will simply have to deal. The way he's learned more about Ryo from Akira than from Ryo. What a mood.]
At least you know that. Whatever this is, it's something Ryo is going to have to figure out.
[He can't even offer advice because he has never been afraid of his creator, however cruel he's perceived her.]
...At the very least, even the most absolute of powers in one world clearly doesn't have dominion over them all.

Sorry that Scaramouche had a stubborn as fuck roomie.]
I want to. I want to know why God would keep killing Ryo. I want to know how to make it stop.
