If it helps, it doesn't work that way. The points you've earned already are in a bank, kinda. So they won't be used up until the time's right.

[enfangs]

And when's that time gonna be...?

[probe]

There's only a few of you left now...it has to be soon. I can't imagine it'll be much longer now.

[enfangs]

... I really hope that's not implying we're all gonna die.

[probe]

Ugh, don't say that! We're not going to let everybody die if we can help it.

[enfangs]

... All right, we're counting on you for that. [...] So you mean that there won't be much of an indulgence race anymore with only a few of us left?

[probe]

Yup. Pretty much. Without more of you to indulge and add to the total, it'll be harder to fill. Plus with less of you it won't have to be split so many ways.

[enfangs]

... Right. [...] There's a quota we gotta fill, then?

[probe]

Think of it like this. You have something you want, which is to stay alive. But then someone else's wish is like...I dunno, they want to take back something they said to someone else. One of those things requires more power than the other. So the quota is always changing the less of you there are, because there are less desires to grant.

Does that make sense?

[enfangs]

... Kind of wish it wasn't changing, since it sounds like that makes it more complicated, but yeah, I get it.

There's a lot of things I wish and that's at the top of it. How can you be successful if the goal post keeps moving? It's not fair to anybody.
