What kind of work Seodore and their group do in LDL? What does he mean by "Searching for God's Love"?

they investigate supernatural activity and write articles about them!

As for the second half, that's a bit more complicated, and i'll be getting into spoiler territory, so I'll hide it under a cut! DLC spoilers~ I'll be discussing both LDL as a whole and a little bit of Seodore specifically!

LDL wants to change fate. Seodore wants to rewrite things, and the chance to rewrite things and grant a wish is what he offers to Sanemitsu in 1999. If they find a way to reach God's Love, then they can change things.

Each character has something different that they want from working with LDL.

Sanemitsu wants to pick everything up that he's lost (an impossible dream-- if he succeeds in changing the past, he loses reiji)

Zweig wants to kill a certain man

Annie wants to find who almost killed her

Seo is... more complicated but I'll talk a little on him

my personal reading is a metafiction angle (ie when they describe rewriting God's Love, they talk about rewriting the code of the game itself). I'll finish the post on this point at some point i swear <3

I want to draw attention to this quote from record 8:

Seodore: I wanted to believe that people's potential was limitless. I still believe it should be so. But if "God's love" prevents it from above, there is no other way but to rewrite it from there.

He wants people to have the freedom to make their own decisions, away from what fate and the world has predetermined for them. Like he tells Hajime in record 5, they aren't playthings. In order to do that, he needs to go to a 'higher power' than he currently has access to: the code of the world itself.

In the last section of the DLC, Seodore also discusses how he's guided us towards the path where the world can continue to exist. Only in S+ does the world continue to exist beyond 2015. Seo wants this world to continue and progress.

lines referenced are from records 4, 5, 8, and the last scene of the DLC!
