Shade-Seeker nods his agreement, but remains silent on the subject of the tragedy--he spoke truly when he said he lacks the words. Anything he could think to say in the face of such a monumental horror would seem small and hollow. The tale continues, though, so he readily gives his attention to that. "That is a sensible rule, though I imagine its invocation is rarely welcomed by those who need it."

"That seems... poetic," he muses, when the tale is done. "So many beginnings, reflected in the end."
