[Well, at least something good is coming out of the majesty of butter powers. And this whole mess, really, this week's motive... doesn't seem quite as malicious, somehow. It isn't just Talcott's voice, or Ren's antics (or Lance's, come to think of it). It's learning a little more about each other, teaching Marisa how to use his God Arc, realizing the dead are still close despite everything.

It's unlikely that it can last, but for just the littlest while, things are almost all right.]

... It was Talcott, this week, speaking to us. Maybe that's why it's like this.
