…and you. - 0304_Hello, Worlds - Chapter 6: ・│・・・│・│ - Episode 4
A few hours before (Captain)'s collapse from fever, Lu Woh speaks with Orologia, whose current personality is not only nearing its limit—it will soon become a bridge for a nigh infinite number of failed possibilities to encroach into reality. Orologia's solution is to have both personality and failed possibilities destroyed as one.
Hours before (Captain) collapsed from a fever...
Lu Woh meets Orologia on an island created by the Six Dragons.
Lu Woh: Orologia!
Lu Woh: Orologia?
Gran is the Main Character
Orologia: Heeey... Appreciate you coming on such short notice, Luo.
Djeeta is the Main Character
Orologia: Heeey... Appreciate you coming on such short notice, Luo.
Lu Woh: You look pale, but what else is new? Have you ever considered doing something about that frail vessel of yours?
Gran is the Main Character
Orologia: Yeah, but a sturdy me is just bad news for the world, sadly.
Orologia: Besides, I'm just about done being dead on my feet all the time.
Djeeta is the Main Character
Orologia: Yeah, but a sturdy me is just bad news for the world, sadly.
Orologia: Besides, I'm just about done being dead on my feet all the time.
Lu Woh: ...?
I say this nearly every time we meet, but if you want to have a conversation, try saying things in a way others can understand.

Orologia: Okey-doke! I'll just be borrowing that pocket watch for a second, Luo!

Orologia takes hold of his pocket watch and adjusts the time on it.
Lu Woh: What are you doing?
Gran is the Main Character
Orologia: The truth is, I'm at my limits and could spontaneously combust at any moment now!
Djeeta is the Main Character
Orologia: The truth is, I'm at my limits and could spontaneously combust at any moment now!
Lu Woh: Your limits? You don't mean...
Gran is the Main Character
Orologia: I do—both mentally and in terms of the possibilities I can hold off. Turns out I went just a wee wittle bit overboard with all those simulations.

Lu Woh: Please don't tell me we're going to lose the wedge that defines the flow of time and causality!
Gran is the Main Character
Orologia: Nuh-uh. The wedge itself and the Sky Realm are co-dependent and will ensure each other keep on keepin' on.
Orologia: How-wow-wever, the number of potential routes I've gone through has reached a critical mass, and they're on the verge of breaching into reality.
Orologia: Good thing I was already on the case! I got every one of those possibilities all tied up in my current personality—now just to have it tidied up.

Lu Woh: While it is true that within each wedge the laws of destruction and rebirth act on a micro level to recycle their personality...
Lu Woh: If I'm not mistaken, any other wedge getting involved in the process to wipe yours clean would signify an overstepping of bounds.
Lu Woh: The resulting elemental turbulence would be quite the disaster.
Gran is the Main Character
Orologia: And that would've been too, if it weren't for those meddling boundary-power-drawers! That I arranged to have show up soon.
Orologia: Breaks my heart to ask it of them, but they'll be the ones doing the actual custodial work on me.
Orologia: While they do, I wanna ask you Six Dragons to hold off any and all possibilities that try to wiggle their way into reality!

Lu Woh: You make it sound so easy!
Lu Woh: Wait, Orologia, let me guess... You saw this coming and have already planned everything out to ensure we all come out the other side in one piece?
Gran is the Main Character
Orologia: You bet your booty! It wasn't easy setting everything up, but I'm feeling pretty confident the Sky Realm is gonna make it, one way or another!
Orologia: The moment your pocket watch strikes twelve is the moment I can no longer bear the weight of all these possibilities.

Orologia: The moment your pocket watch strikes twelve is the moment I can no longer bear the weight of all these possibilities.
Lu Woh: Meaning we don't even have any time to consider your request; us refusing to do this is not even a "possibility."
Lu Woh: Ugh, I suppose that's one way of getting some work out of us.
Gran is the Main Character
Orologia: I am real sowwy about it...
Djeeta is the Main Character
Orologia: I am real sowwy about it...
Lu Woh: No matter... God's slipshod creation of the world is what led to this. You were simply doing what you could to cover up the cracks.
Gran is the Main Character
Orologia: Thanks for understanding, and sorry for the trouble. Hope you can pass that message on to the other dragons for me too.
Lu Woh: I refuse. Tell them yourselves... if you can.
Orologia: ...
Lu Woh: We'll take care of the matter. Farewell, Orologia.
Orologia: Buh-bye, Luo! Say hello to the next version of me you see!

Orologia fades away while rising from the chair, and a serene silence fills the island once more.
Lu Woh's eyes remain briefly fixed on the chair, now absent of the time wedge.
