[Peter didn't expect this much of a response. He does appreciate it though. He would rather have honesty on Fiddleford's part. Peter takes his time to mull over what he could even say to this.
He wishes there was an easy answer, but he already can tell there won't be one.]
The moral choices we're used to in our homes don't completely apply here. Not when we're being pulled apart and put together again into completely new people. Not when we're forced to eat people to live. We need to adjust, but some people... never do. Because suffering is easier than living. So, I get it in a way. It's better, and easier to stay in our own spaces, since everyone else is... so focused on going home or forcibly "fixing" everyone. If you're happy, you're part of the problem.
To some degree, I owe the Fog for bringing me here. For letting me find these people I love. I can admit that.
I've heard you've been here a long time, it's why I wanted to speak with you too. So I'd get a better idea of a lot of things. I know a bit more about Elias by proxy, but the fog is an unknown to me. I need to do more research on her and the mythos of this world. So I know I'm not ruining everything. I want to stay, I want to make sure people happy here can thrive.
Two of the people I care about the most want to go home. They'll both die if they do. I don't know what to even do for them for that.
It's complicated. It doesn't get any less complicated.
