Yeah. And...from what Aeris told me, the Old Man is suffering constantly. Ending his existence might well be the most merciful thing we can do, if we don't have a way to heal him.
That I know of? Delphinus knows, and they've told Hydra, who've probably told Vulpecula. Jake knows because I wanted him at my back when we went to talk to Venna; she had some information we needed. Nobody else so far; I need to find a time to talk to everyone else as a group.
