So, think of it like ... a show. A play, I guess. But you can interact with it. Change fate. That's the concept!
[He saw his entire world as a game for a long time. It's hard to shake that off; even now, he feels like he's just 'leveling up' his relationship with Firoza.]
When I was a kid, my best friend and I used to play this game... 'the Legend of' something? [It was a long time ago.] We took turns playing when the other lost. [His friend took more turns than he did, admittedly, but he didn't mind. He was a pushover like that.] Then our mom would come and tell us to go play outside, so we could pretend to be the hero and the bad guy, and use sticks as our swords. That's probably more what you're used to.
... Most games are about getting stronger. Leveling up. Being able to kill enemies you couldn't kill before, until you save the world.
[He pauses.]
That's... just like your life, isn't it? Getting stronger. Fighting bigger foes. Even now, I'm just training to take on more outlaws. All universes must be like games at their core. [With heroes and enemies. He knows he was the latter. He still is. Maybe Firoza will have to kill him, eventually.]
