[ he sighs, heavily, running his fingers through his hair. ]
I need a goddamn cigar. Whatever. If this costs me my life then it does. I've served my time. It doesn't matter anymore.

I'm not like you. You're right. I cannot state what I am — I am subject to Erasure if I do. I'm certain you can figure it out, given that you overthink just about anything.
But what I am does not define my purpose in this game. The Reapers attempting to erase the lot of you are my enemies. I have the ability to inspect one person per week. Of course, sometimes I don't have to — when you've lived as long as I have, it's not always difficult to tell. Junko Enoshima. Edogawa Ranpo. Obvious souls.
[ a wave of the hand. ]
I'm in service to someone whose alignment technically benefits your own. That's all of you, by extension.
