Joahan.
Professor Joaco, please answer a question or more.
Does Nero intend to kill us? Eli seems to think it's so, but the situation doesn't appear that way to me. If he wanted us dead, then...Wren, Alejo, Juliet, and even I look exactly the same as then. Even with fractured memories, he'd remember by now, and well...he needs us for something else—that's what I suspected. Like we used to think about you. Something we're more useful to him alive or dead.
Or, I suppose, her. Depending.
In any case, if he is actually out for blood, that changes a few things about how we should be planning and preparing and living our daily lives.
My second question is...you probably have all the Chosen's crystals, or your [...] guardians do. Is there a reason you don't just give them out? Is the "fighting a weird monster" element somehow necessary?
