Senseless is what death is. One simply passes, their body rots, and there is nothing left. No life, no mark, no legacy. What point is there to preserving a world when it is simply as heartless as any other, entirely mundane world across the universe? They're all just as harsh, unremarkable, and if they were not... Do you not think they would have been able to stand to the forces of such destruction?
[ Silco cannot help, but think that every other world is unremarkable. How could he not? If they weren't, if there were worlds where there wasn't such suffering, if there were worlds where he did not have to scrape, suffer, and be wronged for the sake of where he was born... Would it not be unfair?
Wouldn't it be heinous, that an unfeeling, cruel universe would simply exist, and allow this to happen? Yes, it made him strong, it was required, but all these other worlds... they were not the perfect environment for it -- all the other worlds were like the rest of his world. Smelling their own refuse and denying the stench.
He would not stand for it.
Silco was, in short, a Zealot for the worst reason of all. Pettiness. ]
