[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.]

Devilry have you, oh, but you would make a Cicero, or a poet, or a fool.

Now, let's we see: what's going through that ugly little head of yours?

You know I'm not just words. Never have been.

I'm too active for that.

And I'm waiting for you.

You never wait for me!

[ and recovering his wits about him in 3...2... ]

A deep cut on your hand. Let me see it.

This time, I am. If that shows you I'm committed.

[He looks a little surprised. That's all Rosiel's going to ask of him? After doing such drastic things as having himself killed and putting a sword through his eye? That sounds pretty easy.

For the first time here, Setsuna draws out Nanatsusaya, and while he does wince in the process, he cuts himself, pushing the blade deep on his hand, severing the skin between his thumb and pointer finger. Blood drips quickly after that.]

That's it? [He puts his hand close to the screen, staring determined at it.]

No, that's my beginning. I didn't think...

[ even a curse could, surely - ]

But now I know. How many have you killed, Messiah? Do you still have the count?

[Just a change in the direction of his devotions, but the level of devotion, that is the same. Have Sara ask him to cut himself and see the results. They would be the same.]

[The next part gets a worried, confused look from Setsuna.]

What do you mean? I...in battle that sort of thing is hard to keep track of. [But he can't forget the ones that are his fault. Zaphkiel. To start. Sara. Kira. Katou. Their deaths are all his fault.]

And is there room for one more?

[Painful, painful, painful.]

Of course. That's why I'm waiting.
