[The video cuts to Axel, smiling tiredly. He must be in bed, given that there are pillows behind him and he's covered up to his chest in sheets. It's all white, looks pretty idyllic.]

Sorry for that... Extended absence. I collapsed while caring for the sacred fire. Gave my shinki a bit of a scare.

[He laughs a little, but it turns into a cough.]

Basically, I burned myself out. Any of you have advice on what to do while you're supposed to be resting? I'd appreciate it; nice as this vacation is, I'm gonna go stir-crazy here.

I guess... now you know what it feels like, at least.

[small_reservations]

Yup. And hey, I survived it! And the fire didn't go out! Counts as a victory in my books!

[pure_radiantics]

The fire's that important to you, huh?

[To call it a victory and all...]

[small_reservations]

Well, not really. I just think the world might end if it goes out or something.

[pure_radiantics]

...... Are you being serious right now?

[To say something like that so casually??]

[small_reservations]

Yep.

[pure_radiantics]

Oh wow... you have to take care of something that important...?

[small_reservations]

Hey, I'm a god. All gods have to take care of important things, whether it's their followers' hopes and dreams or the fate of the world.

[pure_radiantics]

Hm. [ She smiles. ] I guess so. At least you know it's important so you can take good care of it.
