You think you can make some sort of difference? People don't keep their memories of this place when they leave, and even if they do, someone's fate isn't so easy to change. Or would you rather save Ion and let Tear die?

[Her fonons were already contaminated, well before then- and with no cure, only medicine, her death was inevitable. The Fon Master's sacrifice was something to admire, not prevent- especially since without Tear's hymn, Van would never have been defeated, and Lorelei wouldn't have been set free. It was a noble thing to do, a death he could take pride in... at least he didn't die for no reason at all, like he did.

This is why it had been pointless to share anything with Luke- it's all or nothing, otherwise he wouldn't understand.]
