They turned to dust and were dead all along.... [ mal repeats it, not quite able to wrap his brain around that. he hadn't considered the extent of what the orbs can do, even with the release of a monster from another world on their train. ] And... you got the orb?
Someone was saying that we don't leave places better off than we found them all the time. I'm guessing that was one of those.
[ and then he raises a brow. ] Did you fight any bandits?
We got the orb, too. But the orb itself was... kind of a psychopath. It left the guy who used it to be tormented forever. Like... wandering this wasteland, never allowed to die kind of torment.
Think about all the power they'd need just fixing all the mistakes and regrets we're bringing to it. Keeping one guy alive to wander his planet endlessly is probably just a pebble in the bucket.
Yeah... okay. I didn't think of that. [ she has a fair point and he has very few brain cells after all those brawls. ] And it's keeping all of us alive so... yeah. Makes sense.
