[And he does want to work with her -- her and Stan -- because they're a direct resource the way Mishibijw and Sol and the rest aren't quite. More reliable in an unreliable world. And also because he wants... to help them, despite everything; he's gotten attached almost despite himself, or perhaps because he's himself.
He's bad at giving up on people, even this late in the game and with all of the last day and the week clanging around in his head. Red is complicated as ever. He doesn't know what to think of Stan now, yet.
But Lenka frowns. Stan really hadn't explained the plan in terribly coherent terms. But it sounds like... a nuclear button. Something to wipe out, rather than what he's been quietly hoping for ever since they heard from the Metaverse team. Perhaps ever since they all heard from the dead again. Talcott. Lillith. Those voices would be wiped out together with the camp. He's pretty sure now.]
... I don't think we should only wait, Red. There's something -- the Metaverse. [it pains him to bring it up, after what happened to Ren earlier, that price and everything that came with it and his own reaction to it] If they were able to talk to Sol, and confirm all those souls, then we can't destroy it like this.
Sol has to be holding the souls for a reason. We still haven't found the reason.
[It's going to be more difficult now, considering Sol is actively hostile to them -- at least that's what this week feels like, on top of the rampant hallucinations and paranoid spells or perhaps because of them, together with them. It could all be part of the same discount package. They'd be just that lucky. He doesn't know how far they'll be able to hold up like this.
It was close, today. The distrust and the turning on each other, the cracks showing in the group. And...]
I don't know how easy it will be to find the reason. [they probably can't use the Metaverse again, either] But do you remember when we talked about how things might have changed, since Sol asked for food? Ren said... that there had to be a reason they had a Palace. That it might have something to do with that.

We can't just give up on everyone else.
