[He wished... that people didn't have to get hurt.
It's such a childish way of thinking, and he knows that. The world is a cruel place. Any world is. But still, his heart dreams of peace, of the power to maintain peace, and of the happiness that everyone wants to achieve. But how can they get there like this?
He doesn't like the implications of this whole situation. A good chunk of them are stolen, put at risk, and those left behind are struck ill? Everything in this town focuses on connections, so it has to be the same thing. The connections that are restoring everything are tying them together, somehow? Is that it?
It's unnecessary. They would have gone after them anyway, so why? Is it just some kind of magic? A punishment? Guren is trying so hard to figure it out that he sometimes forgets Dextera is there, beside him, until he feels his gaze on him and glances over, offering a small smile as reassurance.
Eventually, the island is long behind them, and the shore is in sight. Guren picks up his pace slightly, determined to get Dextera to some help.]
