You could hit him in the face with a laptop for a solid hour in this scenario . <| sep |> Of course everyone hates when expensive 3 rd party hardware that works just fine with older ports gets declared obsolete . Especially these overpriced Firewire and Thunderbolt peripherals that were supposed to become the future . <| sep |> Elmo can ' t help but stare while his friends desperately try to look away . <| sep |> The Shintari are deeply devoted to this path in a way that is practically religious zealotry . Why would they care for the sufferings of this world when their beloved Emperor and potential Savior seeks to restore them ? The Emperor , then , has a duty to the people to carry this out . His duty is his purpose , and his honor allows no other path . Perhaps the fact that they are from a different reality is all that matters . This reality , though they are trapped in it , isn ' t real . Not to them . Sure , it ' s a shame to kill every being here , but it ' s like killing off characters in a story . No one real gets hurt . Maybe they don ' t know about the drawbacks . Or , rather , maybe only the chief historiscientist knows , but doesn ' t say . Not because she ' s evil , but because her first duty is to the Shintari people . Cultural or religious , that ' s a powerful force . She keeps her mouth shut , but it ' s tearing her up inside .
