* AdaptationExpansion: In the game, the treatment center of Maruki's Palace has three questions to identify "abnormalities," with "wrong" answers leading to Shadow fights. This fic adds a fourth question relevant to the fic:
-->''You have the power to see ghosts, when few others do. While you run the risk of seeming mad, you have a unique advantage. You fear others' rejection, but you want to help others. What do you do?''\\
''A: Tell a small, trusted group of friends the truth so they can support and validate you.''\\
''B: Speak on behalf of ghosts to help them move on, at the risk of backlash from the disbelieving.''\\
''C: Isolate yourself from others altogether to avoid pain and potential embarrassment.''\\
''D: Start a cult and gain money and fame.''\\
''E: Go about your life as normal while ignoring ghosts altogether.''
** In the game, the only time that the Thieves agreed with Maruki was the third question, where when asked what they would do with the power to steal hearts, the "correct" answer was to do what they did: steal evil hearts to fix society. However, they agree with Maruki that the answer to the fourth question is A. Of course, he did base his reasoning on his interactions with Joker.

I know that they're the same thing, but given EMMA assumes that name in Strikers while Yaldabaoth never does, better to avoid confusion.
