Concerned God

The Concerned God is the most mysterious of the three gods. Almost nothing is directly said about it, although it is frequently associated with the sky. It is almost certainly in control of USER3 and there are implied connections between Concerned and HOPE. The current theory is that the Concerned God is Sekai, who is also the primary narrator of the game.

## Relation To The Wire God

It appears the both the Wire God and the Concerned God are at least somewhat active in the current version of Kumon-mi. While generally Calm appears the one "in charge" of the current world given the resets and the regular USER2 interventions, the Wire God's inhuman nature and propensity for noninterference under normal circumstances may leave room for the Concerned God to be the one truly in control. Whether Concerned is intervening through the narrator to influence Sensei, just working in the background to control HOPE and keep Nozomu contained, simply observing the world from on high and letting things play out or possibly even directly controlling in control of the actions of the Wire God and thus the progression of the world overall is unclear. It's highly possible that Concerned may have planted the green scarf in order to push forward the relationship between Sensei and Maya in the face of the imminent collapse of the system.

During the second reset, USER3 remains online in contrast to USER1, although the implications of this are unclear at this time. Despite being online, it rejects Sensei's attempt to connect, implying either that Concerned is unwilling to intervene in Sensei's attempt to get to the roof of the school, or is otherwise unable to act without HOPE.

## Relation To The Sky

Frequently, when Sensei is thoughtful or internal monologuing, a shot of the sky is shown. Maya similarly tends to look up when contemplating her fate or her situation. In Trinity II, the sky itself appears and tells Sensei that everything will be alright and that he'll eventually find happiness. In addition the frequent refrain of "raise your head" would seem to be an allusion to the Concerned God, and in Trinity III when Nozomu appears to have captured HOPE, Sensei comments that he can no longer raise his head.

## Relation To HOPE

Hope in Reset encourages Sensei to "look up", at which point Sensei is immediately transported to the roof of the school to meet Maya. In addition, the beach tree image shows HOPE at the top of the tree, potentially either acting as a symbol of Concerned or perhaps a bridge between the tree and the sky itself.

## Relation To The Narrator/Sekai

The main narrator frequently makes comments regarding their love and care for Sensei. In addition, many narrator lines are accompanied by shots of the sky. The narrator also appears to share numerous memories with Sensei Prime, and one of the few (likely) concrete lines from the Concerned God shares many similar memories, along with a similar writing style.

If Concerned is the narrator (or one of the narrators), then it would stand to reason that he is also Sekai. This has potentially massive implications for Sensei's interactions with 61, and implies that HOPE (as well as Ami) is the child of Callous and Concerned.

## Concerned About What?

The narrator in There Is Nothing seems to be unaware of what the Concerned God is actually concerned about (or if they even exist). If the narrator is in fact Concerned (or closely aligned with it), this may be a deliberate use of the unreliable narrator to draw attention away from the fact that Concerned is not as caring as his name would imply. If his concern is directed at Sensei's long term happiness (versus Callous's obsession with short term happiness), it still stands to reason that he could be acting as a villain, willing to sacrifice the lives of the girls and trap everyone in the system just to fulfill Sensei Prime's ultimate goal at any cost. For more on Prime's (and by extension, Concerned's) morality, see the page on Sensei Prime.

## Christian Imagery

Yasu's first appearance implies that the god she is referring to is in fact Concerned (or perhaps HOPE, who may be related to Concerned). As Yasu wears a crucifix, it may draw a link between Concerned and the other appearances of crosses in Letter T and How I Feel, and may point to his involvement in keeping Nozomu/61 contained.
