Game 049 [Written/Voice]

[ Sometime in the early afternoon, the following question goes out over the journals. The camera is covered, and the handwriting is disguised. ]

Let's have a thought experiment. Say you were dying, and the only possible way to save yourself is to get help from someone very close to you. However, you don't know for sure that this help will indeed save you, and whether or not it does, there's a chance that it will damage the one helping you. Trying to help you might even kill them.

Do you ask for their help anyway? Would you accept their help if they offered it?

[ Later on in the evening, Joshua makes a separate post from the previous, this one voiced and not anonymous. ]

[ Filtered to Neku, 100% ]

Hey Neku, are you busy tomorrow?

No, I wouldn't. Not if it meant hurting someone I care about.

If I knew they would get hurt, I wouldn't accept it. Even if they offered willingly.

Of course I would.

I wouldn't accept help if it meant something bad happening to one of my friends or family. That doesn't mean I wouldn't still try to offer it if they needed my help instead.

I guess you're right, though. They probably would feel the same way about me getting hurt. But I'd still try. If I had the time, I'd try to come up with another way to help that causes the least amount of damage.

If I needed help AND was trying to offer it? I don't understand.

I don't know. There's never just one answer, though. It doesn't have to be that way. It really comes down to the kind of situation it is, and what the consequences are.

It can depend on that too. Maybe they can find a way to fight back against what might hurt them. Survival instinct can be a powerful thing.

No, not really. What would you do?

Do you only think people are worth saving if they're important to you?

What's the difference to you?

That makes sense, although you did say that the ones you value most are close to you. But I guess if that's different too, then would you save someone who's better for the world instead of someone you need in your life?
