Well...no, I mean...that's always a possibility, you're right. Some people wouldn't find it pointless. But CERES isn't giving them a choice either way. Not that they're giving any of us a choice, but at least for us, being here is just a minor inconvenience at most.

[And that lack of a choice is crueler in his mind to people who don't have anything to gain from being brought here, assuming CERES is telling the truth about this end of the universe shit.]

If they do end up bringing her here for real, I'm not going to complain about it. Like I said, there's never going to be a day when I don't want to see her again but...I'm not going to hope for it either.

[Okay, that's kind of a lie. He's probably always going to secretly hope for it a little bit. He can't really help it...]
