->''"Sometimes video games ask you interactive yes or no questions. Don't be tricked by having two options. They're only teasing you with one of them. For example, you often get asked things like, 'Will you help the king?' If you answer NO, it'll say, 'Oh, but you must!' If you answer NO again, it will say, 'Oh, but you must!' This will go on until someone or something destroys the power lines outside your house. And don't think you can just kill the King to get him to shut up, there's no button for that."''

->'''Ein:''' Time out. What exactly makes you think I'm obligated to do any of this? You nerf the crap out of me, you reformat my brain, you dump me in a strange village with some hippy chick and a loli, and now you show up out of nowhere and expect me to do your bidding? Something isn't right with this picture. Maybe you should just have been upfront rather than dicking me around like this. It's not my job to save you people. It's my job to activate the Retribution and save Asgard. It's going to screw you all over, and that sucks, but that's how it has to be. Too bad. No. I'm not helping you.\\

Well, what's the point of having an option, then? I'm saying leave me the fuck in prison, but then again I might as well not even put the game in if I'm gonna say no.
