[ it’s this guy again. although he seems considerably less sad than he did the last time he appeared on the network to talk about accidental sympathy with the oracles of the sinless, that may not be the best thing in the world once he begins speaking. he's also wearing small angel wings, visible in the view of the camera—they're definitely fake accessories, however, rather than being a moonblessing or even a more permanent effect of the bracelet. ]

…hello.

[ he's nervous? he's nervous, and his shoulders fidget slightly. he can't look at the camera. ]

There’s been a lot of people asking about churches. [ ah. ] …I am a member of one that recently opened. It is… a re-establishment of the Order I used to belong to in my world before.

[ it isn't a ringing endorsement, but it is the truth. ]

We don’t worship any god. It is an order that focuses on the internal self and what people are capable of. A man named the Archangel is our leader. If you’ve met him… um, anyway, please come by.

[ and included, information about the Order of Malkuth, located in a primo spot on level one. go ahead, join the cult. ]

[ It's true. Despite that Midorima's life largely revolves around basketball and luck, he actually finds things like science and philosophy fun to read. This is a man who checked out a quantum physics textbook to read for funsies in his first year of high school. It's just that serious topics never usually come up practically for him. This is the first time he's had to make a solid decision that has some kind of consequences. ]

Belief is important, but it doesn't change reality.

[ Otherwise a lot of things would've happened differently for Midorima. He may not have been in an apocalypse, but even he knows that. ]

[ dextera exhales softly, at that. ]

In my world, it can.

[ the archangel is distorted beyond belief, even if he seems to be completely controlled. he, like dextera, has no visible distortions. ]

…maybe that’s why. He might as well be right.

We aren't in your world.

[ And it clearly didn't work in their world, but he isn't going to keep pouring salt in that wound. But he does feel the need to state the obvious. Belief doesn't have power here, touch does. ]
