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?
I wasn't the one fighting, so my words didn't hold any extra power. If anything, my words didn't have enough power. But Kaito did a pretty good job of holding his own.
2. What change do you feel in your understanding of the power that words might hold now?
I already knew words can be a powerful tool in the right hands, but something like this isn't quite the same. You can't normally create something out of thin air just by speaking about it, after all. But if you use words to say things that already held the potential to have an effect without the added magic- that is, ones that attack the psyche rather than the physical- it can be... very effective. On the other hand, you can do some pretty ridiculous things as well. Some battles involved more playing around than attacking.
3. What harm did your words do to those you faced? What benefit did you find within them?
Our goal was to win and have some fun with it, not to hurt anyone.

1. How do you feel that this game has strengthened your understanding of your partner? How has it been weakened?
I still think he's an idiot. But I suppose there are some things I understand a little better now. We may have lost our first battle, but we talked it over and I understand why he faltered. I confirmed some things unrelated to the game as well.
2. What strength do you feel you gained from the bond you shared within this game?
Strength? Well... it seems that, somehow, we trust each other.
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?
...Out of the people here, no, I don't think so. Though there were times when I felt that I should have been the fighter. Kaito's great with words, but against an aggressive enemy he's out of his element.

Change
1. What changes did you observe in the physique of your companions? What do you feel was the criteria for such change?
If you mean the ears and tails, those were highly unnecessary. The only theory I've heard that seems to fit with who was changed is that they signify virginity. [why tho]
2. How do you feel the treatment of those altered differed from those who were not?
Aside from occasional embarrassment (for both those who changed and those who didn't), teasing, and requests for ear petting, not much.
3. 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?
No. Privacy is important. If someone wants to share details of their personal life, it should be by their choosing.

Truthless was a very tasteless name.
