He looks at Kuranosuke for a moment, then looks away.]
Sorta. But the demons weren't the only problem. The humans got scared, so they started attacking each other. Because when demons possess humans, they look like them. It's hard to tell who is a demon and who isn't until they lose control.
[that awkward moment when literal hell is better than your average daily life. yikes.
kuranosuke does not seem to know what to say to that at first.]
...I think you deserve a chance to live in a world that isn't literal hell or hell on Earth, though. Isn't that the point of second chances? To give you a chance for something better than what you got the first time around?
...there probably will be, but if the alternative is just sticking around here...
[he shrugs]
Anyway, we won't know til we get to that point. So like - the choice is yours. Personally? I don't think you should be stuck in hell. So if there is some way to a world that doesn't, like, suck for you, and you can feel assured that nothing bad will follow you there - I hope you'll consider taking it if you get the chance.
[For the pep talk despite Kuranosuke not knowing a damn thing about him hardly outside of what he's just said (terrible) and that he cries all the time.]
My world probably could have used more kindness like that. Like... Miki's kindness.
But, whether we end up staying or going, ultimately - let's keep our chins up and do our best, yeah? That's gonna be the best way to stick it to Satan, I bet. Like, "Haha! Look, we're in Hell, but we're not being tormented!"
Really? Well, I guess it's not so surprising. The type of people who are like, "Yeah! Let's give the guy in charge a big middle finger!" are more likely to do things to land themselves in hell, probably.

I hope they wouldn't, but who knows what will happen to us after winning Satan's game. There... is probably gonna be some kind of catch.
