My impression was that to determine the direction of the universe - a consensus would be enough. Though I suppose even now it might be rather difficult to find one...
[like
just looking at the people they have around]
However if the universe is meant to be led under a singular will - then one way for that to happen would be to bring down the numbers until only one will existed.
... no matter how similar people may be, or how they might come to agree - I do not know if I would ever suggest that they might possess the exact same notions on all things.
[ . . . ]
I suppose, if it comes to down at the end - you will be able to discern the truth if the corruption is not yet calmed once you've gathered enough like-minded people.
... while I have seen the passing of many people that I cared for, I do not think that I have quite grown accustomed to the sight. Even if it is not forever...
If there is a way that I can choose to save even one more of you -
no subject
No. But I had a few questions.

[and he'll make the gesture for her to sit with him beneath the cherry blossom tree
there's a nice blanket laid out and everything though]
no subject
How certain are you that this is the only way?
no subject
[ . . . ]
However, if there is another way, we have yet to receive guidance on what that is.

[...]
When you get answers from the universe, is it written or spoken or in a vision, or...
no subject
Perhaps it is an answer in and of itself that I think you might be able to gain more information speaking to those who have departed.
[there is a pause then, his gaze growing more somber]
They are making strides in their own way.

I do not wish to provide you with a false hope.

Who would you pick, if it were your choice?
no subject
Yourself, Shess, North... even Lea, if he would be up for the task.
[and he smiles, a little wry]
Ookurikara could just as easily be trusted as well.
no subject
[Strange as that may seem.]
no subject
[he speaks softly, and holds a hand out for her to take]
Why would you say that?
no subject
I think you would make the best choice.

... even knowing that I chose Hisoka as your partner -
I do not know if I deserve such faith.
no subject
[It's an attempt at levity, even if it doesn't quite land.]
Don't say that.
no subject
That would require each of you to meet your end before myself.
[ . . . ]
Even if I have witnessed it before, I do not intend to rush to such a conclusion again.
no subject
...Isn't that going to happen anyways? I mean - all of us except for one. You're not a part of our group.

If there is a way that I can choose to save even one more of you -

no subject
... I would not wish my lifetime upon any other - and what I have done to learn what I have.
It would be an insult to each of you, who have faced your own struggles, and have your own views on what a universe ought to look like.
no subject
...I don't think any of us are really going to want to do it, even if anyone on that list could.
no subject
Are you worried of the burden it might place on your shoulders?
[it's kind of a lot
to be able to shape an entire world]
no subject
[She pauses for a moment.]
Have I told you what was happening back home for me, before I came here? I don't think I have.
