[Jaskier's answer is immediate, resolute, when he gives it.] It's the only answer I consider.

[It doesn't mean it's true. He knows that. But why shouldn't it be? It would be far too easy to fall to despair should they consider otherwise. He imagines that the Singularity must lose its hold on them -- that the mages can no longer sustain the magic to keep them here. Something... like that.

He won't consider alternatives. He's lost friends now, and his friends have lost people terribly close. If it keeps happening, how will they harden their hearts against it?]

I don't think we have to. And he's far too ornery to allow anything to happen otherwise. I truly believe that.
