"That isn't the question I posed." There's no way of knowing if she's being overdramatic or genuine, if she really did think strangers out there were going to die because of her ... but how many people owed their deaths to Zenos himself? If they had an issue with it they could damn well pull themselves out of the aetherical sea and do something about it!

But he is not Madoka, and at the very least she took it very seriously. "I care not for the rage of the dead. They should have fought harder for their goals." Although it's gently said, that's ... a pretty callous chain of thought. "Even in Garlemald, there are those who take great pleasure out of seeing others wounded or suffering, it does not mean we allow ourselves to bleed for their perverse happiness."

Somewhere in another universe, an alternate Zenos sneezes.

"As for the rest.. does your misery help them? I would suspect that no, there isn't a reasonable soul among them who will look at you burdened as you are, and be pleased you feel so. But in the end it is only words, and my speaking so does not suddenly make any of it easier to bear. But pray keep them in mind, for all that they are the platitudes of a stranger."
