Returning to Five Pebbles
I see that things have fallen into place.
Countless iterations, work groups, series permutation, simulations... and not once did I foresee the possibility of placing my fate into the hands of a beast.
However, I must thank you. What you have achieved here was beyond my expectations.
It appears that I was wrong about your kind.
...
While I wish there was more I could do for you, my time is running out.
These ordeals have made me understand what they all tried to tell me.
...I don't have to go through this alone.
