*Looks toward Melody to direct my speech toward her*
It's over.
*The crystal, on contact with you, reveals a cascade of knowledge in the brief moment you contact it, including that my goal is to reduce Existence's will to oppose its absorption, an intangible network of sorts is already established to complete the process of absorption, that I feel genuine regret for killing anyone, and that my people natively had no concept for death, let alone experienced it, all in one instantaneous flood of information transfer. In this moment, I grab your face to stop you and shove a hand through your chest*

*Watches, concern shining in my eyes*
