There was something oddly comforting about the gesture. Mono himself wasn’t sure why she was apologizing since it wasn’t anything she’d done, but the fact that she seemed to understand… To actually know what he was dealing with when it seemed like so few understood? It made him feel a little less alone, a little less out of place…

“Oh…” He mumbled, though, at her explanation. So it wasn’t as though it would just die off without someone to use to draw in its food, it might just sleep for a while. Not that it mattered, he guessed… One way or another, he was always going to end up back in the tower. Either at the end of whatever number of times he tried to stop it, or when he inevitably was sent away from Aterat again. He’d just go back to when he left.

It was nice to at least hear that he wasn’t wrong about the fact that it couldn’t get here, couldn’t use him while he was in this world to ruin things… “That’s… That’s good. I don’t wanna make the same stuff happen here.” No one here deserved that, at least no one he’d met yet. Everyone had been nothing but nice to him, and seemed to accept him regardless of how different his experiences were compared to theirs. And if it did happen… Well, he believed Illyana would help like she said she would.
