Kids here really have a knack for asking questions of him that were not easy to answer.

The Batter doesn't answer for a moment. His own world didn't quite 'run' on that principal. The specters that corroded it attacked and killed simply because that was what they did. Dedan was a fouled-tempered man who lashed out, Japhet was something driven insane by the neurosis and fears of others, and Enoch trapped his workers in a cycle of happiness, death and madness.

The Batter? His reaction to it all was very simple. End it.

"It depends on how one defines fixing it." Is the Batter's eventual answer. A hypothetical bit of pondering or not, it's still a subjective topic. Even purity is subjective, in the end. "Your answer will differ from mine. But I would end it."

Permanently.
