Roan immediately stopped Rean. 'We don't have time for that. What will you do? Stay here and protect the weak Umbras for the rest of your life? No, wait... that isn't a bad idea. Yes, stay here. I'm leaving.'
Rean's mouth twitched. 'I'm obviously not staying, idiot. I'm not delusional. I'm aware that this isn't the kind of situation we can change. Do you think I didn't feel it? I also noticed that Xian's situation is worse than he said.'
'So you aren't completely blind,' Roan agreed. 'Yes, he mentioned that he doesn't really want to absorb those mindless shadows outside because they could become Umbras in the future too. However, it is pretty obvious that Umbras don't have any other way of recovering their energies. The simple action of thinking already uses energy, and the Umbras can't use any other energy other than absorbing other Umbras. If he doesn't want to disappear at some point, he is destined to absorb more Umbras until the end of time.'
