A question.
Let us humor our captors and say that they are telling us the truth that our worlds are destroyed. Let us then assume we have only two places we can be: we might stay here, in this Tower for however long that may last or we might attempt to break out.
The Tower, while a cage, offers a sense of security. There are constant meals and general protection from what lies outside it's walls. We are, however, at the beck and call of the people who run the Tower and their whims. Yet with them you could say it's the devil you know, and know that their torment and cruelty would be as consistent as the stability they offer.
So assume a means of leaving this is found and we might venture out, and that what is outside is in fact inhabitable. But what we venture out into is a vast unknown and the only information we do have is that creatures like the ones who invaded here - and many more of them - roam the outside world. It would be a harsh, dangerous world. But also one with possibilities that could not be explored here. With freedom not to be found between these walls.
So given the choice if the chance of going home is out of the question, what do you choose: stability or freedom?

It is the way of nature for there to be the strong and those who thrive, and for there to be the weak and those who die.

And in many ways it does. It's merely that few realize that underneath structure and order lies chaos, roiling and ever turning. Ever guiding.

Or do you speak to me in hyperbole as if to a child?
