Someone who stops to ask "how high?" is useless to me. They're unambitious and unmotivated. If they're satisfied with a life like that, I've few reservations about that person believing there is some great reward for their bare minimum. What little I invest in them will result in some gains for my plans, but it will be no significant loss when they've been worn out.
What I look for are special people. People who jump as high as they can when I tell them to jump. It's unrealistic to anticipate or believe that they will last to the very end, but they are the ones who enjoy my encouragement and support in their growth. Their goals become my goals.
[It is after brief and careful consideration that Dio changes format and begins to broadcast video. The lighting is, of course, poor enough that most of his defining features (save the size of his silhouette) and most of the elements of the room he's currently occupying remaining largely obscured. Though if Junko looks close enough, she might notice the room speaks of considerable wealth, particularly old money with its furnishings. And she might even be able to see a few things that would suggest something a little more than human about Dio as well beneath the layers of shadow he's hidden himself within.]
Which will you satisfy yourself with? Remaining a blunt instrument with limited use or will you seek mutual beneficence?
