"It's all right. The Joy Star God may have noticed you, but you can still think of yourself as an Emanator of Preservation."
"Huh?"
"The Aeon of Preservation never speaks, so they won't correct you. As for the Joy Star God... if an Emanator of Elation publicly claimed to be an Emanator of Preservation, they'd be delighted. They'd love for you to fool the entire universe for the rest of your life. So when you unleash your power, go ahead and shout, 'In the name of Preservation!'

The Emanator of Elation, who already had a history of deception, seemed to take the expert's advice to heart. Under everyone's uneasy gaze, she stroked her chin and sank into thought.
