I'm Crowned With Eyes. I don't expect you to understand or care what that means. But it is not unlike being psychic, and it is not comfortable.
You want me to wake up because I've lost focus, and everyone in history who's been in my place - which you know so much about - is even relevant, but you're not at all implying that it's the same?
I wish my universe never existed, not as it did for a good four hundred years before my birth. I would happily be erased. And I didn't have a bad life, until I made the first real moves to unhinge the Calendar in earnest. But I cannot remember the first time I saw someone publicly tortured to death. And when I was a kid I thought it was loud, and boring. And normal. That's just what happens. They're just heretics. Everyone knew that.
No exaggerations, no inferences. You said even garbage universes deserve to exist. And I think you're just wrong. Mine didn't, and neither did I, and neither did anyone else who watched and was warped by watching, forcing themselves to accept and believe it was normal and safe and good. And the ones who couldn't do it ended up on the table themselves.
Universes deserve nothing. Only people deserve anything, and we can't always give it to them. Maybe your anarchy isn't as impossible to improve without ripping up the foundations as the Heptarchate's ubiquitous and terrible control. That seems plausible to me. But you don't get to speak for all worlds. And when you put your own single wish to live against the possible infinity of warped future lives, it strikes me as - natural, understandable, but selfish.
[And because he is something very close to psychic, "I'll save the rest" is enough for him to cock his head -]
When you make your deal, make sure to leave Palpatine out, please. Or he'll poison whatever refugee utopia you think you can make work just as well as he did the galaxy the first time around.
