“…… Mmm, so you’re now saying, in some really weird way, that if one of us dies then things just sorta keep going and nobody realizes that a Kaito sorta… vanished? Dropped dead? Bit the dust, all that? And that ‘cause I found my Pandora, I made all of us harder to kill?
“I don’t follow that last bit. I’m the only one who has immortality. Aaaaand even then it isn’t absolute. I have at least one death condition that I’m aware of. It’s not like I’m sharing my lifeforce or whatever with all the other Kaitos.
“Also, I don’t know why I did what I did. It just sort of happened. I didn’t mean it.”
“… Not really. People would notice if, say one of us died in front of them. And if no other Kaito is sharing the universe at the time, then it’d still be noticed in world as a whole. Just the crossing over makes it more likely for there to be more than one in the same dimension.
And you attaching Pandora to yourself didn’t change anything about the rest of us. When I say ‘collective Kaitos’, I mean if we think in terms of all Kaitos as a whole. Umm… a being made up of smaller versions of itself, if you will. Killing one of its parts would make it smaller, until you completely get rid of it.
The individual versions are us without dimension crossing. The larger being is all of us together with the crossing, in terms of existence. With us together, we’re harder to be destroyed.
You using Pandora strengthened a part of the being. Not all of it, just one unit. If we all did that, the being would be impossible to kill. Never said it’d be impossible to kill the ones who use Pandora, just makes it a lot harder. It’d still be best if none of us died normally, though, immortality stone or not…
The last part… If Pandora was gone from all the worlds, there wouldn’t be any dimension crossing. Period. And no chance for ‘immortality’. You choose not to destroy it, so people still can even if all the others might be destroyed. If we all do what we set out to, you’re the one that’d still be letting people talk to alternate selves, because Pandora would still exist. It’s not entirely a good or bad thing…”
