"This may not work."

"It's worth a shot, though."

"But we've stabilized it due to the merge."

"Not completely. Adding in a new variable will actually help."

"You assume too much."

"I know more than you think I do. Every world taken care of properly is a step forward, and I've seen it destroyed too many times to trick myself into thinking we can avoid it that easily."

"If you say so... might we at least attempt to test a few things during the aftermath?"

"...What do you have in mind?"

A/N: I will warn you all now that this story is meant to be an exploration of a concept. There will be other major writing tools, but the main aspect of the story is character development in regards to the OCs. Specifically, it is an exploration into how two people who are fundamentally similar can change when put into different places and situations with different expectations of them. For this reason, the OCs were created to be completely identical in every way save for a few small, not-quite-fundamental differences, so that we are essentially watching the same person grow in different ways. I am well aware that the idea of two people being that similar is ridiculous, and ask that you take those parts with a grain of salt.

As for who is running this "experiment" in-story… well, the gods. Death on the World-H side, and Kami, Jashin, and Shinigami on the World-N side.

In any case, I'm done with the obligatory boring start. It's over and done with, and once I post the next chapter, we can actually get to the fun part.

Ja ne,
