There...could be worse things than living out a lifetime here before being sent home to our own place and time to pick up the things we need to where we left off. [In point of fact, Claude had idly considered this possibility when he'd first found out people could spend years here, and then go home presumably unchanged by the passage of time in this world. If it would be possible to live an entire life here, and then go home and live out their original intended life at home. It almost seems like cheating, in a way, even if it's not something any of them asked for or have control over...or maybe it's more like reincarnation of a very unique kind.
Whatever it is, Claude had concluded that didn't sound too bad well before all of this. It seems current events have forced others to consider it, too...albeit more urgently than he had. Claude hadn't known that their memories would leave them upon going home, at the time...though in retrospect, he supposes it only makes sense. The easiest and best way to slot them back into their lives back home is to return them entirely unchanged, and that would logically extend to mental and emotional changes, too.]
But Felix...even if you somehow manage to find the god of this world, you know you can't make demands of it. I know what you want and why you want it, and I wouldn't mind having it either, but...you're setting yourself an impossible goal just to have something to work for, and something to promise. That's not really tackling the problem so much as running from it.
