It has been a year since I arrived in Vatheon. A longer time than I was ever truly alive in the Junkyard or in the real world, and more than a year since gaining the Atma. Yet Nirvana seems to remain beyond our reach.

[When Gale speaks again, after a short pause, he sounds more thoughtful.]

At what cost should one give up their emotions?

[It's been months since then, and Gale still remembers her, even if he has been avoided. He doesn't blame her for it. He's mostly grateful that they were able to return the demon.]

We are not considering it again, particularly when the option to deal with our hunger without devouring is being discussed. Nevertheless, the demons... one wonders it Nirvana can be achieved as long as they are with us.

Surely it can. We have not even discovered exactly what magnetite is just yet, I have faith that with the gathered knowledge of so many worlds we will be able to create a substitute. Until then... I suppose the city has provided for you.

It has. We do not face penalties for the deaths of the locals the way we might for other foreigners. It is strange that the Head Nurse would allow this exception, but for that reason. Nevertheless, when we can turn away from hunting, we will be glad for it.

There are people working on it. We will do our best.

[Though some of the only tests she can think of now will require her presence. It will be extremely uncomfortable, but it will be worth it if it means that such kind people aren't forced to kill others just to keep their sanity.]

I understand. Thank you, Zelda. We would be unable to accomplish this without your assistance.

[And without her help finding a better way, they might all have been forced to become emotionless puppets again.]
