Why shouldn't we be wondering? It's divisive enough to ask whether the originals are dead-dead. Wouldn't it be kind of weird if we got all those cryptic messages and didn't use them? They gave us vague insight into the thought process of each member, but all we really did with the stones was make baby Elidibus cry.

Maybe it will be our having read them that turns out to be more important than their ability to instill memories in the seat holders' minds. Hmm.
