[She thinks that's probably not a great sign, but she doesn't exactly want to say that.]

...I hope it gets worked out.

[ yeah no she'd be right, there are imminent nuclear missiles involved now thanks recent chapter. ]

I hope so too. But I don't think it will.

[ practical of her. ]

Well...

[She pauses for a moment, but:]

When I first got here, I asked Lune whether fixing the core of the universe would do anything to fix worlds that had already... gone wrong, like both of ours. He said he thought it would.

...

So, what he's saying is our worlds being the way the are is because the Corruptions being running wild all this time?

I'm not sure whether that had anything to do with it. He just said... The universe might reward people who try to help it, but I don't know if it's because of the corruption that they got messed up in the first place.

We'd need to be very specific with our wording, if that's the case and we get to ask. Otherwise we might end up with something worse.

...It sounds like it'd be hard to get worse.

[Not that she disagrees.]

But being careful is always a good plan.

I'm sure it could find a way if we were non-specific enough. There's no way either of us could take that risk.

[She looks like there's something she wants to say, but - after a moment, she just shakes her head.]

Yeah, I'm sure you're right.

[ ? Everything okay there, Emma? ]

But then... what is asking too much of it, and how do you get all aspects of what you want in place. This is more difficult than I thought it would be.

[Always!!]

Well, from when I talked to him, he sounded like saving the world wasn't out of the question. So - that's good, at least.

[ hm doubt. ]

It's just going to be difficult. Really difficult. [ Sigh. ] That... sounds about what I expected though.

Yeah... Nothing's ever easy.

[Anyways.]

It kind of makes me wonder when the other shoe is going to drop. Everything here has been... a lot easier than back home.

Right?

I know it's horrible here too but... it's in phases, and it's not constant. It's actually peaceful, in a weird way. Although it feels bad to say that.
