"Even since I was a young man, like yourself, I've wanted to help people. He told me that he needed access to it to help with his own people. The ones from a Station, in another Universe." Even as far back as he was from, the Multi-Verse theory was a thing. Erandur took another longer drag of his cigarette. "He said they were dying, and the only way to help them was to gain access to our Heart, take some energy from it so he could restart his own. And, seeing as the people all here seem alright, I trusted him. I did not know what it would lead to.." He spoke as he exhaled, smoking coming from his mouth as he did.
"I was no real help to him, as I couldn't find it myself.. But, then... I found out what he was, that he had fooled me. Then what happened.... Happened." He spoke to what Higgs had done, and all of the events in the aftermath. Erandur would never insult Richie by asking if he knew. This young man seemed very smart, and resourceful. "We're going to make it right, Richie." Another drag as he made firm eye contact with Richie. This wasn't just a one set of people's fight. Everyone had been affected by Higgs in some way or another. Erandur felt responsible for it all.
