<onlyinclude>After [[Asha]] makes a vow of revenge, she cuts her hair short with ''hoti marut'' to test her [[divine affinity]]. [[Visnu]] restores her hair
and reveals to
her
that [[gods]] have the ability of
''[[insight]]'',
so
there
is
no
reason
for
her
to
hide
how
she
feels
. He
adds
that the
easy
part
of
her
path
ends
here,
and
to
gain
more
power
she
must
kill
those
with
the
name
of
a
god
.
He
begins
to
show
her
the
path
ahead
.

As
Visnu
is
about
to
give
Asha
her
list
of
choices
for
after
the year
N15,
she
first
asks
him
a
question:
Why
does
she
have
to
shut
down
the
transport
engine
room
and
make
it
look
like
an
accident?
He
explains
that
two
people
will
die
on
the
transport
as
a
result:
the
Priest
of
Wind,
from
using
up
her
lifespan
after
summoning
the
God
of
Wind,
and
a
second
person
who
will
use
his
own
body
as
a
shield
to
prevent
the
ship
from
crashing
on
Willarv.
Asha
questions
allowing
a
person
who
would be
a
strong
opponent
to the
suras
to
die
.
Visnu
explains that his
death
would
upend
the
life
of
another
candidate
who
has
the
potential
to
become
even
stronger
than
Asha
.
Her
gains
and
losses
depend
on
the
choices
she
makes
.
+
Visnu
finishes
the
first
half of
Asha
's
to-do
list
,
and
praises her
for
taking this opportunity to avoid an unproductive life that will end in
the year
N13. She questions him as to why
she
even
needs
to
follow
that
path,
since
she
could combine her new strength with other magicians
to
fight
[[superior
suras]].
He
asks
her if her objective is simply revenge,
and
she replies that
it
is.
He
then
points
out
that if
that
was
true,
she
would
have asked for
the
resurrection
of
her
mother;
the
truth
is
that
her
anger
over the loss of
her
future
is
greater than her grief over
the
loss
of
her
family.
He
adds
that
having
her
mother
back
in
this
terrible
situation
would not do anything
to
improve
it,
so
getting
revenge
and
power
would
result
in
a
better
outcome for her. Asha angrily admits that she
would
rather stand at the top than
be
trampled
on.
Visnu mentions that humans with the necessary capability
to
memorize all of
the
future that he discloses
to
them are very rare, and there are some on this planet, but Asha just killed them
.
He then
explains that
the 12 people she killed had gambled that all
his
candidates
would
refuse
to commit murder in order to gain power, and live a comfortable
life
instead. There were
another
seven
who
declined to take
the
bet. She was the final candidate, and the refusal of those 12 people from committing murder would be acknowledged in the underworld. He points out that the one who passes judgement there considers murder
to
be
a
serious
crime, but
Asha
tells
him
that
she
has
no
regrets,
to which he says that it would be good if
she
never has any from now on
.

Present
Asha,
still
driving
the
car
and
surrounded
by
white
light
,
wonders
if
her
other
choice
would
really
have
been
the
unhappier
one
.

As Visnu is about to give
Asha
her list of choices for after the year N15
,
she
first asks him a question: Why does she have to shut down
the
transport engine room
and
make
it
look
like an accident? He explains that two people will die on the transport as a result: the Priest of Wind
,
from
using up
her
lifespan
after summoning the [[Vayu|God of Wind]], and a second person who will use his own body as a shield to prevent the ship from crashing on Willarv. Asha questions allowing a person who
would
be
a
strong opponent to
the
suras to die. Visnu explains that his death would upend the life of another candidate who has the potential to become even stronger than Asha. Her gains and losses depend on the choices she
makes
.

Present Asha, still driving the car and surrounded by white light, wonders if the path not chosen would actually have been the unhappier one.</onlyinclude>

* (faceless gamblers): For those who were curious about who the first candidate chosen would kill: In the beginning, the two who were the best fighters were chosen, summoned together, and told that the first one to kill the other would be granted power. But they both said that they couldn't do it, so in the end one was returned home and the other agreed to the bet and was shackled there. Beginning with the third person, they were brought in one at a time, then offered power if they killed the people who were shackled before them. Everyone refused to kill until the very last candidate. Among them, 7 returned home and 12 remained.

* Asha's vow of revenge in the beginning of the episode was previously seen twice (as mentioned in the afterword). Both those times, because Asha's right sleeve is bloody and just hangs, fans assumed this takes place after Asha loses her right arm. Now we know that Asha still has her arm at this point.
* Humans are unaware of the existence of ''insight'' unless a god directly tells an individual about it.{{ref|2|157}} This episode reveals when Asha learned of it.
