Hah. That's just the kind of person I am! A hero who upholds goodness no matter where it may be hidden, ready to find even the tiniest light in the darkness!

[He may be ridiculous and self-aggrandizing, but to be honest? He's not lying, either. He'll always search for the goodness in people, no matter how deeply buried it is. If that light is faltering, he'll feed it--if it's been snuffed out, he'll rekindle it. You may want to suffer and hate yourself..... but he doesn't want that, for you or himself. He wants that suffering to mean something, to make a difference for the better for everyone involved. Changes of heart should be rehabilitation, not just punishment.

He sobers a little though, quiet for a long minute before speaking up again. It's not like he knows all the details, but maybe.....]

.....Besides, you're the first person I've gotten to after a change of heart, besides Futaba. That means I actually do get a chance to confirm that sort of thing this time. Along with something else that's been bugging me a little since we were in your Palace. Did you.....

.....Has..... God ever talked to you, Shido? Or given you visions or prophetic dreams, maybe?

[Sure, it could just be exaggeration of a God or messiah complex or something, maybe--but Shadows generally don't outright lie. Shido is surely smart enough to have kept something so unbelievable under wraps in the real world, but..... he wonders. If this is real, it seems like it might be important for Shido to know too, if only for his peace of mind. Even if he'd outwardly dismissed it as a hallucination, odds seem good that he'd embraced it, even if subconsciously, if his Shadow had been espousing the idea.]
