In case anybody still has not noticed, Braphine's "surprise" is an interference with our minds that makes us feel closer to one another than we rightfully should be.

Which also seems to answer the ever-lingering question of why she chose a number of people who are not particularly social for her purposes - she has no intentions of letting us 'serve' her naturally. Rather she's as demanding as the gods of old are reported to be, and will gladly use us as her unwilling playthings.

Not that this comes as a great surprise, after the manner of our summoning.

Get out of my head. You enjoy the challenge of trying to conquer? Well, I won't give you the satisfaction. Nobody here is

You're very naive if you believe the appeal to human right in itself is going to sway the hearts of the powerful.

The true leverage we have is not in our dignity as people but in our literal labor, which we can withhold.

Or at least that would be the case with an ordinary employer - but if the Goddess has not exhausted her power to bring us here, she could feasibly discard us and bring a new group even if we did go on strike. That's the risk involved with testing the waters on that route.

Maybe, but I'm not looking to appeal to her. It happens often, right? You're stuck with a bad boss that won't give you a day off when you're really sick. Sometimes there's nothing that you can do other than to hang on and keep struggling until you find a new job.

But if we're all united in being upset about this, then isn't that like building a bond of its own? Mina said that we had to make bonds, she didn't say how and of what kind.

So doesn't disliking a bad boss count as a bond?
