Eve, ever the pragmatist, chimed in. "Look, Alex, we're your friends, your team. But this god stuff… it's a big change. We need to understand what you're getting yourself into. And what it means for us."
Her words were blunt but fair. Alex knew they deserved an explanation, some assurance that his newfound godhood wouldn't change their bond.
He took a deep breath, steeling himself for a difficult conversation. "You're right, Eve. I owe you all an explanation. And I promise, I'll tell you everything. But first, I need some time to figure things out myself. This whole god business is… overwhelming, to say the least."
A murmur of agreement rippled through the group. Duny offered a reassuring nod. "Take your time, Alex. We'll be here when you're ready to talk."
A flicker of hope ignited in Alex's eyes.
