Chapter Text
“Seiya, what would you do?”
“What would I do? Why do you find it necessary to ask me? Of course, I will stop the trolley!”
“Well, what would you do if it cannot be stopped?”
“Put more effort to stop it then, EFFORT—”
“Shhh! Don’t say those three words! Be careful, you are not in Weekly Shonen Jump NOW!”
“Burn my cosmos and put more effort to stop it!”
“It—cannot—be—stopped!”
“Accumulate more cosmos from my friends, and put more effort to stop it!!”
“Shun, what would you do? It must be emphasized first that the trolley cannot be stopped.”
“If the trolley cannot be stopped, I would use my chain to save those people.”
“You cannot stop the trolley, you cannot use the chain, and you are unable to rush there to save the people in time… Ah, you also cannot blow people away with your Nebula Storm!”
“Um… Let the trolley hit me first then. The trolley can be stopped, if I sacrifice.”
“Mu sama, we need your advice. The premise is that it cannot be saved. Neither physical force nor spiritual force can defeat the proposition.”
“It’s a koan then.”
“Exactly.”
“No intervention.”
“We need your reason.”
Smiling.
“‘If I don’t intervene, it’s an accident; if I intervene, the people are killed by me.’ Is it what you mean?”
Smiling.
“Sir Camus, what would you do? The trolley cannot be frozen. The tracks cannot be frozen. Everything cannot be frozen.”
“Who?”
“’Who’? Who is ‘who’?”
“I need to know who are the people on the tracks.”
“Master Shaka, we came for your wisdom.”
“To divert or not to divert, it’s the same. People are born to die eventually.”
“But this superposition state cannot remain. When things—when trolley comes to an end, we can only choose to do or not to do.”
“Because of my mercy, I would kill the people on the track first.”
“…Uh… Master Shaka, you do have an…extraordinary vision compared to us commonplace people… Wh…why?”
“If running into people, the driver will feel guilty. The sufferings can be saved, if I sacrifice.”
“Pope Saga… Which of you will answer?”
“Never mind, we reach a consensus.”
“What is your consensus?”
“The trolley must be diverted.”
“Why?”
“Because the trolley will turn over if it bumps into too many people.”
“Knight Aphrodite, how about you?”
“Divert it.”
“Wow so resolutely, why?”
“Papal infallibility.”
