I have noticed many amongst us appear concerned about Ruana's next step, namely her siphoning of the souls left on dead worlds.

I can and do understand the will to oppose Ruana, I encourage it. However, this desire I have witnessed of saving the lost souls is quite intriguing, if not misplaced. The vast majority of these souls are people we have never met and will most likely never meet. For that matter we did not even know they existed before stepping into this tower, nor did we have any thoughts for them before seeing that message.

They have had whatsoever no impact on our lives and never will they have any. Nothing binds them to us and what fate will befall them, ultimately is none of our concern. It is their own fight while we have our own fights. Hence I have only one question:

Why do you care?

I do know we have less than a year to accomplish what purpose we have. I do know residents in this tower barely can save themselves. I do know Ruana will get in our way until the very end.

If you try to save everyone? You will find yourself faced with an impossibility and you will fail. If you want to win, you will have to make sacrifices and let go of those people. If you want to win, you will have to commit action that cannot be judged by conscience or morals.

Given the situation? You cannot save everyone. This, is fact. I do know that and so do you. The replies you and others have provided me with confirmed exactly what I thought. Not only the need to preserve your conscience is what drives you to want and save everyone, but you are ignoring reality because it is much too painful for you to bear.

Mark my words. You won't save everyone. You cannot. And if you try, you will only be successful at dooming everyone.

You're wrong, and we'll prove it.

I don't know what made you so... so jaded. But we aren't as powerless as you seem to think. It's true that we've been Ruana's playthings for a long time, but not anymore. With the people we care about and the people from our worlds in danger, we have the motivation to succeed that we didn't have before.

Don't worry! We'll save everyone, and that'll include you. I promise not to say I told you so when we do.

What made me so 'jaded' is what we call 'reality'. It happens to be what we live in and interact with at every moment of our lives, yet what people most commonly seek to avoid and ignore.

You won't save everyone. There is a scale to be measured between the concept of powerlessness and that of being almighty. You are certainly not the later.

However I do promise myself that at the end, you will be forced to see what reality truly is. There are no beautiful endings where everyone is saved and happy. And you will see it if you live that far.
