It's not a stretch to think they might view us the same way.
To them, we're are a gang of strangers who just keep on coming. No matter how many times we're killed, more of us show up. We could say it's wrong to kill, to hurt others. That's true from our perspective. How well do we practice that? As many as thirty resets. Most of these because we kill each other to a stalemate. Because we can't stop making the same mistakes. No wonder the spirits don't get why killing us is a big deal. We've done it to each other so many times.
To apply our notions of right and wrong to beings who don't even think the same way we do, who might even view us as a threat... I think that's a mistake. It won't change your death, it won't give any of us back the ones we've lost. But if we can find a common ground, if we can communicate what we want and don't want, if we can work together, I think we'll accomplish what all the other resets couldn't. You don't have to go along with it. I'm just asking you to think it over.
