[A morally reversed Setsuna has a major announcement to make.]

Sorry I left without waking you, Kira, but I had things to do. I can't just keep lounging around with you. I don't think much is getting accomplished this way.

In fact, this whole fighting God thing is kinda stupid, don't you guys think? He's our creator and deserves a little more respect than that. I've been going about this the wrong way from the beginning. So, Rosiel, if you'll have me at your side, I'm willing to help you now. I want to. I want nothing more than to stand at your side!

[So, yeah, all of his stubborn determination? Now belongs to the other side. Setsuna wants to fight for the God that would abandon them. He thinks God is right - if your creations mess up, kill them all and start over. Rosiel is the most sympathetic creature in all of creation, and he will defend him and protect him until the end. Ready?]

Of course, we have the City deities keeping us from the real war, but that doesn't mean we can't make them see reason. [Wicked grin. Also, no desire to hold back for fear of messing something up or causing trouble he can't fix. That's just not very important right now.]

Will you kill him yet, ...Messiah?

[Ah, but he knows some secrets, anyway. He's good at that.]

[That's really none of your business, Kira.]

I'll kill anyone that harms him, and anyone that gets in my way.

[Everything concerning you is his business. How many reincarnations until that sinks in?]

Be careful you don't regret that later, Set-chan.

[He'll remember that tomorrow, Kira. Don't worry.]

Why would I regret it? That's not going to be a problem. I owe him this much, if not more. I owe God! I can't imagine how it was for him...all of his children turning against him.... Sounds lonely, and painful.

God has wanted an opponent, He got more than He bargained for.

Don't kill anyone. Go through me first.

[That's weird.... Setsuna's not okay so much with killing anyone outright, just with the idea of destroying everything. And certainly not okay with -]

Just stay out of it, Kira.

Ah. But I won't.

[He so won't, he's gonna find Setsuna like the stalker he is.]

That's stupid, you know? We're obviously not in agreement with any of this!

Which would be why I'm coming for you, Messiah.

[To keep him from doing things he'd regret, anyway.]

Then you leave me no choice. It's your own self-destructive decision, but I can't let you just get in the way of Rosiel and me.

True. That would be a shame.

I'm close.

[That's not good. Rosiel hasn't come to find him, yet. Assuming he will. It would be a shame if he didn't. Sad.]

Just stay out of it!
