We have a proposal. We would like to utilise your omniscient abilities for a Foundation program, and in exchange you will be granted access to something that you desire.

They don’t know that. They think they’re making their own decisions, like we think we have any say in the outcome of things. The difference is that I do. I can make it so their pain is merely a stepping stone; an insignificant blip on their path to a better life.

For Ark, thousands of days poured into violence, preparing to endanger himself and others for no reason but to follow those who deemed it necessary; thousands of days he’ll never get back. He didn’t know it, but it was ruining his life. If he had the choice, he would continue this cycle forever. Why can’t I step in? Why is it reprehensible for me to save his fate?
