... But they're not exactly lying either. [Sharak quickly waves her hand to dismiss any protests before Genjo can make them.] Obviously all that about being gods and shinki is a fabrication, but it's a convincing one. We've been made to replicate the symptoms by whoever's brought us here.

[Gee, Sharak, you make being a god sound like a deathly illness.]

Some people buy into it more than others and if we all went along with the story I'm sure a lot of people would be much happier.

[Which of course means they shouldn't, but that goes without saying.]
