You and me both. Neither situation sounds appealing, and I'd rather not get involved in war after just leaving the aftermath of one behind. Even without getting recruited I have a feeling we'll all be impacted by whatever the Free Cities decides to do.

[ Hopefully there will be ways to mitigate that impact - for them as Summoned and for the citizens since Claude hasn't been able to get a clear read from those he's encountered that there's any one set point of view. That could be a matter of needing to investigate more, which ties in with: ]

Honestly? Not a whole lot. [ A short laugh gets paired with that since some of it might've been as good as doing no research at all. ] I haven't set a lot of time aside to look more into it than surface level. Most of it matches up with what we've been told: the Singularity should be destroyed, the world would be better off without it, and so on. But none of that answers if it's always been so powerful or if we affect it, or any of the other million questions I have.

I'm assuming the Singularity is most of the reason they were able to get us here in the first place, so if that's true: I have to question why the Free Cities wants to destroy it so much. Seems like they'd want an infinite way to bring more Summoned in, right?
