... I think we all did. [ tiredly. ] Ray-san has always seemed like the most capable of us. I don't think our faith in him was misplaced.

[ ... even if ... ]

No, of course... That's just - this is just how this contest goes...

I just really wanted him to get his wish.

[ ... ]

To be honest, I feel like just about everyone here deserves to get their wish. The thought that only a few might win it, when everyone has different reasons for being deserving...

[ Madoka nods. ]

I think so, too. Usually hope and despair should balance out, but this contest only offers some the hope that they deserve and gives us so much grief...

It's fine for me, but for others...

... I wonder if there's a way. [ this he murmurs. ] Before the game ends... to be sure that everyone can be happy.

Worst case, everyone is back where they started. Like waking up from a bad dream.

But... That's not a good place to be for everyone. That's... What I don't like.

... no one would be here if they didn't have something they wish for. Maybe desperately. So to simply end up where you started... it isn't the worst possibility, but...

[ ... it does feel ... cruel, somehow. ]

Even though I keep saying - and thinking - that the longer this goes on, the more it seems like any of them would be a good winner...

It's not good that they would allow that... I know that they need to offer something to make us want to try hard and do our best, but - Ray-kun did his best, and he still...

... I'm sure that even if we ask, now, they would say they can't help us, since everyone getting their wish would remove incentive to keep playing.

[ dully. ]

... I just don't know if I can be satisfied by that kind of answer. So many people who've died deserved to have their wishes granted. Those of us who are still alive ... I don't know if I can say we're more deserving.

[ he certainly doesn't feel like it. ]

[ she shakes her head - but in agreement. they aren't more deserving, she knows they aren't. ]

But in the end, no matter what we think... These are the laws of these gods.

[ but, god, the balance between laws and knowing those laws are flawed - between laws and the hope of overcoming them is hard for her. ]
