Sorry for calling you a liar, I guess. Well, you were lying, but I kinda understand what's going on a little better now. Are you okay?
So what's the story with you and Yuuko? I kind of get the implications, but I think the details might be important for the rest of this game.
Also, I kind of want to know what possessed you to play this game in the first place.

Were...are you in love with her? That sounds like the kind of story this would be.
Oh. Yeah, that's valid too.
I brought it up in the first trial, but that's about the only thing Fake Yuuko could have offered me that I'd actually care about. Bringing back my mom, I mean.

And you got hit with the good old "technical interpretation to convey the moral that no one should wish for anything they're not supposed to" ending. I hate it when that happens in cartoons and it's worse when it happens in real life, apparently.
So you're here being all magical because otherwise, we'd have Crazy Demon Lady with two sets of powers instead of one?
You might want to emphasize that when talking with the others. Also, you were a normal guy before, right? Might also be good to point out. I kinda got into a shouting match with Shadow over whether witches are people...

Oh no, I wasn't normal at all. I could see dead people, and I inherited my family's strong magical power, which is the power Ruler-san is using as energy right now. Plus I had prophetic dreams of the future.
I still have those, by the way. I just have the powers of the Witch of Dimensions on top of it.
...but I will emphasize that the witch stuff happened because I didn't want Nirrti to have two sets of powers, yes.

[Well, before he goes and gets wasted, they do need to talk]
I am not sold on your wager being worth dragging everyone in, but as your Servant, and to counter that sadist - I am still going to assist you.
[His voice was firm, but without a hint of anger]

It's not just about names, Ruler-san. It's about power. She wanted to make a claim on the power of Dimensions. Technically I was Yuuko-san's apprentice, so I had first claim. If I didn't make that claim, she would have taken the power freely. And she still challenged me for it anyway.
This game is the struggle for that power.
This game is the struggle for that power.
[He nods, that kind of power shouldn't be allowed in the hands of a complete sadist like her]
And now that you made the claim, she will stop at nothing. You may want to elucidate on this point once everyone has time to cool their heads. Now the problem is, the distrust has been sown, and it's going to grow.

That is a lot of magic powers. All I got from my family was sick dance skills and a giant house I kinda hate.
I know. And the particularly insidious part of it is that I can no longer claim victory in this game, as I am no longer a piece.
Only a living piece can challenge the Witch of Misfortune to reveal the truth. Each death is necessary for the game to continue, and yet each death removes a challenger from the game.
If no challengers remain, she wins. If the final challenge is never made, she wins. If I die- as in, die as a Witch, not just as I had in this game- she wins.
And if she wins, she gets the power of Dimensions. I will also be erased from existence, but that pales in comparison to the disaster of her having control over the Sea of Fragments.

In context, that's a tragedy in three sentences. This sounds like it was a really long story.
Damnation.
Of course, the game is weighted in her favor. We have to scramble, and dig up the fragments of the truth, and it will be difficult, but we have to prove our intentions, and regain their trust.
[His expression changes]
I cannot believe that losing it would affect me so much.

I could tell, she delights in her sadism, she's as bad or worse than Camilla in that regard....
