[ Jesper listens to her explanation of what happened with Geralt and the ties to her own experience. As far as he knows, there are no monoliths in his world, but. Hm. ]
There was a place in Ravka called the Shadow Fold. It's been fixed, but before tore the entire nation in two. Legend goes that when it was created hundreds of years ago, the man who did it was trying to take more power, and he accidentally created this rip between realms. Inside it was pure darkness and full of violent terrifying beasts called the volcra. At one point people thought he'd manage to spread it far beyond that country alone and let them eat their way across the globe.
[ It is not precisely the same, as there are no giant rocks, but a huge gap of pure darkness stretching between two parts of the country, full of demon-like characters, it doesn't sound entirely out of the general realm of what she's talking about. Jesper swirls his drink in his hand. The Fold is gone now, Saint Alina destroyed it and the man who made it. ]
I wonder if more people here have something about them similar to this. They say the Singularity is connected to all the worlds. Those are examples of something like it existing in ours.
[ His was manmade but maybe the Singularity fed off the Fold while it was alive, or took part in it. He has no idea, this is not his area of expertise, but he finds it very interesting. Jesper struggles between knowing that she knows herself best, and probably the Singularity best, so if she's confident she can handle the Singularity, he should trust her with that. But that is warring with his tendency to worry for the people he cares for, especially when going up against something like this.
In the end, he sighs. ]
Just be careful. I might seem very cavalier, but I'm quite the worrier.
[ He knows he would be of no use to her. Outside of providing an extra set of hands. He has magic, and perhaps he could do something with the Singularity, but not the best option for anything she has to do. Jesper has no reason to doubt her confidence. He'll just worry on the sidelines. ]
What do you plan to do if it does tell you what it wants? If it's something we can't give.
