He...doesn't want to die. He told me as much. But he doesn't want to kill us either. How much of that is 'Fandaniel' and how much of that is 'Fidchell' is uncertain to me.
[Closing his eyes as he thinks]
He thinks this is the only world for him. And we should accept what Lily offers us.
Then possibly a scenario that would force us to kill him. Or each other. That would be despair... [ ... ] ...That's more in the nature of what Gorre would do with that data. It's hard to judge.
I don't think there's a clear line between the purpose of the data being harvested. If we think about it, Macha was looking for data on unrequited love, but...that data also dependent on cruelty too.
And our methods resembled our own personalities, somewhat. Mithrun is a researcher and took in data methodically. I... urgently wanted to preserve those memories, and...
[ Hence the confessions, and the doors. Unfortunately, that still leaves them with a blank for Fandaniel. ]
If he believes this world is the only option, then I suppose that's the shape of his hope, and his despair.
But before that, he was...a troll? Back when we could attack each other and come back to life, he was really happy I threw that stop sign at him...oh, that reminds me...
[He'll just start handing out the reflective mirrors he crafted]
I made these because of him, actually. I don't know how useful they'll be in the future, but it's good to have keeps on you.

[ There's only so much guesswork he can do. But he nods a little at the mirrors. ]
...Good thinking. I can make more, if they're needed.
no subject
He really hasn't changed in that regard. But it'd likely escalate too...
no subject
Most likely. That much is a consistent pattern, at least.
[ All of the phases building up to a large confrontation, harvesting more data all in one rush. ]

It's definitely a concern. I expected him to be active earlier but...

...it makes sense. "Hope" and "despair" would come near the end of everything, not the beginning.

Mm. You're probably right.
