[That made sense. He remembers some people talking about exactly that, about their duty to removing the orbs influence from the worlds they were corrupting, about making their time here mean something beyond whatever originally brought them here.

It was a heady concept. Maybe too much for him to fully comprehend, with his own regret looming so large in his head most days. The hour or two where Finn could make himself forget -- really forget -- about Fern were usually followed by several more hours spent in a recursive guilt spiral. Any other way of being didn't feel possible.

Finn doesn't address Yzak's answer directly. Lost in his own thoughts for a few moment, he comes out the other side with a new question. A personal one.]

Yeah. Like--like, you got to meet the person from the ornament, right? [Finn didn't know the person's name or even which ornament was theres, but he could still remember the way Yzak had been staring at it. It was such an intense thing, something he barely understood at the time. With each day, week, and now month that passed, Finn could feel himself looking back on that memory with newfound clarity.] There's a lot of good people here. Makes home feel less far away, y'know?
