Now that things are beginning to return to normal, allow me to pose a question. Was the reward worth the cost, or would it have been better to not have pushed that button in the first place?

hard choices to make, with the clarity of hindsight, cost and gain, careful consideration left too long

It would have been better not to push, but I gained a lot, too.

I went home. For several weeks - I got to finish something I was in the middle of.

In part at least. No one said anything about coming back, after all.

Well, not that I mind so much.

I'm not surprised, if the deities were the ones behind the instructions.

Not really, no.

Well, I was surprised when I fell into the fountain yesterday.

That's how I first arrived, actually.

Really? I get a feeling that's a popular one.

The deities' idea of humor, perhaps.

Certainly fits with the theme.

All to well, I'm afraid.

At least it's also not the worst of it.

A small mercy, but even that can be enough.

Got that right.

... have you been here long?

Six months, now.
