  • This house would make the contract with Kyubey

    Infoslide

    You are an average high school girl. You don't have any particular hopes or dreams for the future, but your family is reasonably wealthy, and you lead a mundane yet happy life. You have a crush on a childhood friend. He is a violin prodigy, who aspires to become a violinist, but injured his arm in a car accident. It is impossible to heal his arm with modern medical technology, and doctors have told him to give up on becoming a violinist. As his childhood friend, you visit him every week, but he is on the verge of despair, and it pains you greatly to see him like this. One day, you came across Kyubey, who is not human but looks cute. He said, "Please become a ‘Magical Girl’(魔法少女) by making a contract with me! If you do so, I'll grant you any one wish you want. It doesn’t matter what the wish is. I can even heal the arm of your friend. However, in return, you need to take on the role of defeating witches with your magical powers! Witches are invisible to ordinary people, extremely evil, and sometimes even kill them in secret. For example, many unexplained suspicious deaths and mass suicides are highly likely to be caused by witches. Only a magical girl can defeat them. Now there is no magical girl in this city and witches kill many innocent lives. You have enough talent to become a magical girl. SO, PLEASE MAKE A CONTRACT WITH ME AND BECOME A MAGICAL GIRL!” For the purpose of this debate, you have two choice 1\. Make the contract to heal your childhood friend’s arm. A magical girl needs to defeat witches to restore her magical energy; otherwise, cannot sustain her life. So you cannot escape from a harsh and irreversible fighting destiny if you make the contract. 2\. Reject the contract. Kyubey will then leave you, and you will live as an average woman.

  • This house opposes the 'body as a temple' narrative.

    Infoslide

    The narrative of "the body as a temple" is present in the teachings of all major religions and is an important part of contemporary spirituality inspired by Buddhism. According to this narrative, the body of every person is not their physical property but rather a vessel given to them to hold the spiritual form that comes from God or other higher forces. As a result, the body should also be treated with special respect, expressed through actions (e.g., a healthy diet, sexual abstinence) and thoughts (e.g., positive thoughts about one's own body, avoiding the sexualization of bodies).

  • This house, as Yeri, would run away with Bee and become an Invalid.

    Infoslide

    Yeri lives in an alternate universe where the US is a totalitarian government that teaches that love is a disease called Amor deliria Nervosa, commonly referred to as "the deliria." A surgical cure for deliria has been developed and is mandatory for citizens of at least 18 years old. The Cure is a brain surgery that results in the said patient being incapable of love or strong emotions. You know multiple people who’ve been “cured” of deliria and are married— living successful lives within society. You plan on getting the procedure as well, in fear that you will end up like your mother who passed away because of deliria. However, only months before your scheduled procedure, you fall in love with an Invalid named Bee (a person who has not taken the Cure and lives on the outskirts of the city in a hidden community). Bee pretends to be cured to live undetected in the city and to partake in the resistance against the government. Bee offers you the means of escape from the procedure that will destroy your ability to love.
