Yeah. Because we're just faceless people you just met, over this wish of yours that most certainly seems to mean a whole lot.
[ He tilts his head ever-slightly at the "less than a century" comment, though. ] I take it that you might be another type like the handful of gods we have here, then?
...Human life is short and insignificant, yeah. But even in those years, there's a lot we can accomplish and a lot we can change. When there's so much we can lose so fast in such a short amount of time, we work harder for it.
And that is precisely why you so often lack any foresight. Why you are so given to causing catastrophe over actually benefitting any world you happen to live upon.
Human life is nothing that I find to be worth saving.
Hey, that's rude of you. My whole life back home revolves around dispelling catastrophes, you know?
I don't expect much help from the way of gods and immortals, anyway. In fact, you could say I have a bit of beef with them really. [ Haha. ] ...So it just makes me want to prove you wrong even harder.
"As long as there's a light, mankind will ever-press onwards". [ A complicated feeling there, not quite fondness, but a phrase that he hangs onto like a lifeline. ] We'll keep fighting to survive, no matter what shitty odds this ship's given us.
Hang around and watch, or don't, if you're so inclined, but that's my statement.

Take care that you do not simply find a flame to be its source.

But some things are worth risking burning for.
Besides, if my alternative is to just die here anyway, why not try?
