Like...[ he struggles for a little while here, grasping at an example he can point to ] if you healed someone, and they went on to kill someone else once they were well enough to do so.
Then I'd have to find some way to make up for that. But what if I didn't heal someone, and because of it, they weren't able to defend themself if someone else came after them?
If it'd be partly my responsibility if someone I healed went out and killed someone, then... yeah, I'd say it would be partly my responsibility if someone I refused to heal got killed by someone because they were too hurt to defend themselves.
I can't... control what other people do, though. All I can do is control what I do. [...] So if there's someone hurt in front of me, I want to do what I can to help.
There's so much that so many of us could do before all of this - if they really wanted heroes to help keep things safe around here, why limit us the way we have been?
Yeah. What I don't get is how they expect us to believe it.
[..hm. he nods slowly.]
I have my suspicions, anyway. I was able to do double the amount of healing I've normally been able to here on Thursday - after he kind of got on me a bit. I don't know for sure, but if other people also felt a similar boost when they were with him... it'd make sense.
In any case, I definitely don't think his power is something that would just let him. Crush someone like that.
That we know of. Not everyone showed their powers off, and they could be lying like Reigen was. And a few people haven't said anything about their powers at all yet.
Loosely, yeah. But that's a lot of wiggle room to play with.
Like--Saya's power, "And The Beast." We have no idea what it is. But I could see how something named like that could have killed Satan. Especially if she had a power up from her teammate.
But in the end...you're right. It is all just theories. Is it even worth still trying to figure out now, when we can't go back and check against any of the evidence?
...I don't know. I don't want to say it's not worth it, because the victims deserve for us to know what happened to them.
[...]
But if we can't prove it, and we end up thinking in circles about it and convincing ourselves of theories when we don't know if they're actually true... that might do more harm than good.

What do you mean, how do I know...? How do I know there's something I can do?

...speaking of being limited. You sounded like you actually know what Reigen's power is, earlier. Is it really amplifying other people's powers?

...huh. That must've come in handy then. Seems like a pretty handy power in general, but I can see why he'd want to hide it.
But either way...you're right. That's not something he could do...not on his own, anyway.

If he boosts other people's powers, then he could've been an accomplice, giving someone else enough power to crush Satan like that.
no subject
But I don't think we really have anyone with a power that's just... crushing?

[he shrugs]
Most of the power names at least seem to have... something to do with what they do, though. Right? Like, in a loose sense.
