1. How well do you feel that you were able to use your words to exert your power over others? How effective were you in bringing those who opposed you to submission?

Well, I was the sacrifice, and honestly, Nezumi wasn't that good at taking my cues, but then, he's such a good speaker he probably just had better ideas.


2. What change do you feel in your understanding of the power that words might hold now?

Change? Words have always been one of the most powerful forces in human growth and development. They're used to bind, to free, to educate, to confine. I'm not sure how a literal word-to-force transmutation would change my view of that.


3. What harm did your words do to those you faced? What benefit did you find within them?

...they seemed to mostly do harm to ourselves... I don't know why my encouragement was so embarrassing? I just thought if it was impossible to not enjoy it, I could at least, um, take advantage of that...

Bonds

1. How do you feel that this game has strengthened your understanding of your partner? How has it been weakened?

No change, really. He was very typically himself throughout it. I suppose that's reinforcement?


2. What strength do you feel you gained from the bond you shared within this game?

It was pleasant to feel so attached, but I don't think it was 'strength' necessarily. We've gone through so much without something like that I almost feel like it required more strength without. 'No guarantees', you know?


3. Do you feel that there is another who would have been more suited to partner with you? What reasons do you have for thinking such a thing?


Of course not. If it was a partner other than Nezumi, I wouldn't have played the game.

Change

What changes did you observe in the physique of your companions? What do you feel was the criteria for such change?

I saw some people with cat ears and a tail, but I didn't get them and neither did Nezumi. I didn't really ask them about it so I've got no clue, to be honest. Nezumi and I have such incredibly different traits that it's hard to figure out what we've got that's similar enough to both lack them.


How do you feel the treatment of those altered differed from those who were not?

I don't think there was any difference. Was there...?

If the private affairs of your fellow heroes and knights remained visible in such a way, do you feel it would be a welcome change? What makes you feel this way?

Private affairs? Hey, what WERE those ears, anyway...? Oh... oh, wait, I think I get it now! Um, thanks for this survey... it helped put things in perspective. I don't think it's anyone else's business, so I think most people wouldn't welcome it, no. At this point it has nothing to do with me, though. I can't imagine treating anyone differently.
