I'm not suggesting that, exactly. [ Except she...is. There's no getting around that, but it's hard to think of it as "murder" when she's suggesting exactly what she's suggesting. How many thousands of times has she made this decision? How long since coming here has she suspected she might be just another doomed offshoot? ]
I'm suggesting we scratch the session. Just think of me as your Beat Mesa.
[ Which would involve murdering her. A little bit. At least she's not grinning when she comes around to that. Or...suggesting he murder someone else? Is that better somehow? ]
If you got back, you wouldn't need to take care of Junko Enoshima, either. If you pointed one of the Aradiabots in her direction, and told them what would occur, they would...see to it that the timeline never went off-track.
[ There is sudden annoyance, then, as Aradia actually looks back over at him. ]
This wasn't meant to happen, you know. There's no way it could have been. It's not like I'm not surprised sometimes by things that happen, but this...it involves three people who should be somewhen else entirely. I know you're not...you're not a time player, so I suppose it is asking a bit much for you to knowingly doom yourself.
[ Actually, this might be easier to ask Dave to do, but unfortunately the other player who might get throwing time player bodies at a problem until it went away wasn't, you know. There. ]
I've said I'm done with dying, and truthfully, I'd like to be, but...this is what I'm made for. To straighten things out. And it's the only way I can think of to ensure everyone lives, including those who have already died, as well as those who might come after this.
[ Of course the only thing she can think of is completely insane, have you been paying attention to your interactions with trolls and/or time players at all, John? ]
...But obviously I can't make you do anything. [ ...Well, she probably could try, but she...won't. ] And the only way it would work would be if you would. You're the only version of yourself who can do what you can do, I think. No version of me can do that.
[ You are the only person in the universe who touched the intangible treasure thing you weren't supposed to be able to touch.

Sounds like a dare to me. ]
