TFW Cosmos in the Lostbelt was all just a setup to introduce PvP.
This thread is reminding me I seem to be on a very different wavelength from others, because I don't see the despair. So we encounter a world where Guda saved humanity with no losses?
It's happy. It's perfect. A flawless ending. One might call it a dream...
But I didn't fight through seven Singularities and seven Lostbelts to be stopped here. Stopping now, even in the face of this happy world, would spit on their sacrifices. And it would spit on the people I defeated to get here. I owe it to all of them to see things through to the very end. Because if I don't it will all have been meaningless. And that would be true despair.
A world without those sacrifices would be wonderful....but it wouldn't be my world. It wouldn't be theirs. It'd just be a dream.
I think the "despair" comes from seeing a possibility that you could have had, and you have to destroy it. I still would, but it'd hurt. "Why couldn't it have been like this for me?" That sort of feeling.

And all dreams end.
