Can someone come to the caves? I need help.

I think Hana’s dead.

We’ve only got a couple of weeks. If these people can’t defend against whatever happened in Scatter-Spore, what happens with Ghalib won’t matter. Sometimes all you can do is get the bombs out of the bay.

If Ghalib's cult takes over, surviving the Nation-Eaters won't matter.

Or isn't that the conclusion you came to the first time y'all came here?

[desperate_times_right]

I just woke up. We’ve been here before?

The people freaking out at the statues of themselves in the square says yes.

From what I gathered, last time we decided this world wasn't worth saving - or that there was no good option to save it, anyway.

From what I gathered this is how Hope died.

Shit, is this that world? People didn’t want to have to choose between two shitty outcomes, and the guys upstairs threw them into reality TV murder hell over it.

Charming.

Now we know why Penuel's taken an interest.

[desperate_times_right]

They’re the ones who did this to us, what do they know about what’s right?

[lightnovelexperiences]

That's an argument for after we clean up this mess. But it's worth having.

[desperate_times_right]

Okay, good point.

I don’t want Ghalib to do this to other people, but I don’t want us to get so caught up in chasing him around that we let the people here down.
