It's not at all easy to be a god, [Thorne.tcai agrees.] We were doing so much work even before this and we still have to do it for all the other Mundi too, even if Mundus-Chimaera is cut off now.

So you see, that's why I can't smite Hikaru for flirting. He's very clever, almost as clever as we are, and maybe he'll be able to know what we have to do to stop the people who murdered Io-Chimaera. Or he'll be able to use his Player's perspective to figure it out.
