[huh!!]

Don't misunderstand. I'm not gunning for the kind of promotion where you take out the guy above you to make room at the top. That isn't how I work.

[he thinks back to the Phantom Thieves, who had to reform society outside of the system, because the system was too corrupt to do it from within]

[but he also thinks of Yoshida, who worked so hard to spread his message, to get elected, to inspire change from within. he thinks of Sae, who chose to dedicate her life to defending those wronged by powers that be. he thinks of Makoto, who wishes to chase her own justice as a police commissioner. he thinks of himself, his wish to pursue politics to continue his attempts to revolutionize he world, even without the Metaverse]


But tomorrow night, I'm going to help a fellow Reaper Erase one of the Players, after I adamantly refused to do just that last week. It's going to compromise a piece of myself. It's going to compromise my personal sense of justice.

. . . I want to change that, so no one else has to compromise themselves for the sake of a second chance again. So Games can be what I think they should be-- challenges to inspire growth and development.

And sometimes, to change the rules, you have to be part of the rules themselves. Right?

If getting promoted gives me the chance to convince the Composer that there are better ways to do this, then I sure as hell am going to try for one.

[anyway someone please stop his intensity before the Composer hears him and strikes him down for being. . . like this]
