Do you think it's the truth...?

[soulus]

The possibility is there. I will verify it with another source.

... I don't know whether I should hope it's true or false. Of course, those people that died - they didn't deserve it. But taking someone else's life in exchange...

[soulus]

We've been dealing in that exchange from the start.

Restoring is a life isn't cheap. The cost for such a possibility was always bound to be heavy.

[bisouled]

It's not like we knew we were even paying that price when we got here.

[soulus]

Life is full of hidden fees. The Realm is no exception.

Do you care about it? Saving all the ones that got removed?

[soulus]

I will do what is necessary to stabilize the Realm. If it will help, that includes the retrieval of the removed.
