[little bit concerned, but she moves on quickly.]
Do you think it's really as - well, straightforward might not be the word, but I guess what I'm asking is whether you think they're telling the truth about the stakes.

Powerful magic indeed, but I've run into similar before. Not that it helps at all in this situation, we're not strong enough to fight it as it is at home either.
How did it work? The similar magic you encountered. Where I'm from, it's - there are some things that can't be reversed. Or at least, we haven't found a way yet. Entropy, the flow of time - you might be able to pause them, but you can't wind them back.
I think maybe the problem is that I don't understand how it works, exactly. Just that we very much need to stop it, because as you said, there are some things that simply can't be reversed.
But this is the power to rewrite everything. Everyone's stories. Or simply erase them. Be done with it. Some think simple oblivion is better than living the same story over and over.

[ but yeah, also brushing past it. time to get into his horrible childhood later. ]
Hm. I ... think they may actually be. Erasure is not a light threat. It's certainly more permanent than death.

Whatever method they have to take us back - it must be incredibly powerful magic.

[ depressing? ]
As you said. Entropy.

Do you really believe that?

... I'm not sure. [ ... ] I think I am trying to believe otherwise?
no subject
Well - whether you believe it or not, I hope it works out for you. Everyone's got something they'd like to change about their life, right?
