If you would like to leave a message, you may do so here. I can't promise to respond. I have many demands on my time, and this sort of thing is far down the list. Still, if you would like to, you may.

I'd like your advice, even if you cannot spare much of your power.

You see, there is someone here I have recently become acquainted with, and even have come to consider a friend. Yet, he has a low opinion of himself, believing himself unworthy of any kind word or mention of praise. He has no hope for his own future, and believes he only exists to be a stepping stone to others' hopes and dreams.

I tried to create a beautiful painting to express that he is indeed worthy, but I fear I could not convey my intentions powerfully enough. Perhaps it is merely my failings as an artist. Yet I must persevere... What do you suggest I should do?

I am afraid I have very little insight into how any of you think. This has always been one of our weaknesses. You would do better asking another human.

However, it is unlikely that you will be able to convince him of his worthiness if he doesn't want to be convinced. Perhaps you can trick him into it, instead of confronting him.

I see... So even though you are akin to a deity of hope, you do not know how to inspire it in others. There is almost something tragic about that...

[Yusuke pauses, thoughtful.] Trickery? I suppose that is an intriguing option. I will see if I can think of any effective means by which to do so.

I wish you luck. I'm sorry there is little I can do for you.
