Ugh. Like, what the hell, though? Even if he was telling the truth... Satan'll only invite 20 of us to his party. So what? It doesn't sound like Satan's only ever gonna throw one party. If we don't score an invite this time, we can just score one next time.
I would hope people are smart enough not to jump straight to murder after hearing something like that.
... Some people might've been in pretty difficult situations before they ended up here. "Time is short" kinds of situations.
[ he sips his drink through his stupid straw. wheeee. ]
Not everyone's gonna have the luxury to wait for the next one -- especially if the seven weeks thing is already going to be more than they can afford to lose.
Again, some people would find that to be a risk worth taking.
Imagine going seven weeks, not being let in, and then finding out you have to wait again with another group of people, to maybe not get in the second time? Third time?
[ he shrugs. ]
It’s not like we have any reason to assume if we do make it back, we’ll make it right back to where we left.
Well yeah, but if we're dead already, any chance at all is better than a zero chance. Like, I'm all for taking risks when it makes sense, but not the kind of risk where if I screw it up I can't ever try again.
[kuranosuke shrugs.]
We'd probably, like, rise from our graves or something. Which would totally freak out-- oh shit, they better not have cremated me, I don't want to become a sentient pile of ashes!!
[ it feels a bit like if he keeps this up they'll be arguing back and forth forever. ]
... I'm not saying I agree with it, I'm just saying I can see why some people would think differently and actually worry about that supposedly invitation limit.

And it's not like killing a dude's gonna get you there any faster than seven weeks! The party's happening when it happens.
