By force? Hmph... I wouldn't give you the satisfaction.
[ She's either confident in her interrogation skills... or she thinks that Caren must be done keeping secrets. ]
Next week — once you're done "maintaining this," as you so obliquely put it at the ceremony — what happens? Not to the rest of us, but to you, specifically.
Really? And I here I thought you were a tyrant who beat answers out of her opponents with an unyielding fist.
[She frowns slightly when Eula raises an actual question rather than continuing to push her antagonism. She may have managed to misread her motives, just this once.]
I imagine that I'll disappear from this world once the conditions of my contract have ended and everyone has moved to their next destination. [It might be a little boring, waiting around again, but now that some of the more persistent contestants have managed to squeeze her into enjoying the show, she's already received everything she could have.]

[ Her eyes widen briefly, before she manages to compose herself. ]
If you think a week is enough time to finish things between us, then you're sorely mistaken. You'll have to put disappearing on hold until I've gotten my vengeance.

What sustains me here won't last forever. I don't believe I will be awarded the same prize as a regular contestant, and with my anchor to the world removed, I'll return whence I came. Think of it as an angel returning to its place in the heavens.
[Eula had been right there when she spoke to Ryuki at the previous ceremony; surely she heard what Caren said about her wants being fulfilled by the mere existence of the setting for the game. Even if Caren had a miracle awarded to her, it's already been granted.]

You have some explaining to do.

Caren looks up at Eula, her expression betraying only a slight surprised and otherwise fixed in its usual neutrality.]
Frightening. Did you bring me here to get the answers you're looking for by force?
