Fine, if he wants to ask a philosophical question, he can get a philosophical answer.]
We don't have much control over our lives here. We're brought here, even from death, to "atone" in the vaguest possible terms. This town has been attacked by monsters, cultists, infection of the mind, and it's even changed under our feet while we sleep, all while it is--apparently--not even a real place at all.
...And as little as some of us are able to cooperate, each other is really all we have here. I don't have control over much. Neither do you. But I can make sure that the bizarre whims of the theatremasters don't leave my neighbors with permanent damage, so that the next time a load of unnatural beasts rampage through the town, they won't be limping away on a crutch because they lost half a leg. Call it idealistic and interfering if you will, but I founded the Arztenritter because I care about people and I want to help. And the fact that I'm still at it after more than a year should tell you how stubborn I am about it.
[Truly, the amount of times Aldrip has tried to kill everyone is way more frustrating than one grumpy man behind a bar.]
