[it's a rather big question that requires proper consideration, because there are a lot of factors that go into it. everyone's freedom, supporting skulduggery's relationship. her own feelings aside, what's best. even without harming anyone directly or immediately, that still leaves open uncertainty to what happens after. power vacuums. would they be trapped here? no more excursions or other realities to visit? would it stop more people from showing up? would the ship still consume everyone's soul and...

... Oh, and I can fly now. Some. [brightens up, because she'd given up on thinking it was possible.] Been getting the hang of it.
... Yeah, sure. [stands up a bit wobbly. not hurt anymore, just leg gone a bit numb from sitting on it, shakes it out.] Figured out that I can only really manage it when I'm not worrying about everything.
