[...he can tell some additional explanation may be in order.]

... I carried out the Scratch on my own. I was the only one left.

It was not done properly, as far as the game was concerned. I bypassed the typical measures, I reshuffled and resorted the gears of that damned thing, trying to maximize our chance of survival... the original data was never deleted, it remained on the disc, so to speak.

[Eridan offered his roommate a crooked, wry smile.]

Trust you to do that.

[He shook his head.]

It was... different, this time. What Jade an' I did. We deleted all data entirely, but... measures were taken to protect it all the same, just... remove it from the Game.

[He sounded both bitter and relieved, in the end:]

So it's really not our problem anymore.

[tortileghostwriter]

So then whoever the game is left to, it won't be us.

... I appreciate the spirit behind the gesture, but it's meaningless and it is not enough.

[he shakes his head. the cycle wasn't broken, they just scored a solid chance of it not being them this time.]

[chronomancer]

...you misunderstand.

[Eridan smiled, showing off all his fangs.]

We didn't do this for you. Or for anyone else. We don't care if it's not enough for you, or whoever. It's not our problem anymore, that's all we care about.
