[Unfortunately for her, it can get worse. Much worse. He has ideas, that may lead to even more public embarrassment/humiliation should he opt to go through with it. (Neo Tokyo's The Bachlorette, coming up!) ]

Uh huh!

[He may not be able to magically or divinely conjure up a soulmate for her in time for the holiday, but perhaps at least he can rustle up some dating candidates for her to try out. She can't possibly have tried everyone here, right??

Tis the season of romance and if this world is lacking gods, then so be it! He'll step up to the plate and become Yatogami, God of Love! For her sake. And maybe he'll manage to keep in Hiyori's good graces at the same time.]

Aw, don't say that... We just got some new folks in, right? [Meaning there's still a chance a new beloved in among those out there...!] Don't lose hope yet, okay, Eresh? Keep making those chocolates and wear your finest getup, and we'll see what happens when the time comes!

[Hell, if it comes down to it, maybe her and Hiyori can treat her to dinner and a movie so she won't be all alone... It'd feel bad to enjoy their own romance while knowing that softie Ereshkigal might be out there crying her heart out. Can't have that!]
