    So back to the point, we travel in Living memory and we meet some friendly faces here and there and we understand a bit about the area and it's people. All of them seem just fine and happy. Some meeting their loved ones again and Chaciua is quick to point out that the system does that from backed up memories to rejoin people long lost to each other, as if that's a bad thing... (There is the notion that the system erases certain memories of a someone who is to be rejoined with someone. Like the example of the husband and wife who got rejoined. The man states that she never re-married in her life, but there might be some shenanigans going there that she actually did)

    Either way we eventually meet Krile's parents, and this is where it gets incredibly stupid. Even more than it already is. Krile literally asks her parents why they sent her to the source along with the earring. And the answer is that it was their HOPE that they would see Krile again as Endless once they died. And that hope, that gift was given to them. And it is understandable that after meeting Krile, they (her parents) would be ok to move on to the Aetherial Sea. Fine enough. But that doesn't really mean it's ok for us to just tell everyone to actually die, does it? Well apparently it does because memories are just memories, even though Krile just had the most amazing, but awkward as heck time with her parents.

    And all this time Erenville has been silent, and my hopes for Erenville to actually speak up and say how actually insane all of this is and he does. But that's not the reason. Erenville snaps because he's sad and plays the victim card as Chaciua askes the group to fulfill her last dream. Erenville says no, but not because it's really selfish for Chaciua to get to have a fulfilling final moment when she herself is literally forcing all of us to put all these Endless in their eternal slumber without warning. No. Erenville is just sad because she's about to die and he doesn't want to see her happy or whatever.

    So, we do the thing, Erenville's mom is now dead and Erenville tries to convince himself that yea it's just a memory and that the memories we remember are better than the memories that actually speak to us or whatever I don't know. At this point I kind of lost it.

    But I held on hope, why? Because at the very beginning when the "regulator" machines are explained, it was clearly stated that Sphene did not force people to use these. So there was always a choice. To either go to the Aetherial sea and into oblivion, or use a regulator and live a long life and when you eventually died you would become a memory in Living Memory, just like Namikka did.
