Chaos simply sighed as Zoroark snapped at him, wringing his hands. "Zoroark, please...I'm aware that this situation is none of your fault because it's entirely mine, I'm just trying to figure out what's best," He said quietly, glancing up at Zoroark without any of his earlier anger. "And it is possible to drink occasionally without being a raging alcoholic...and besides, I don't have a family to look after, and I'm a lot more unstable. Not to mention selfish, so if something helps then naturally I'll take it...and I've always been a hypocrite, Zoroark. That should be no surprise to you." Chaos paused as Zoroark confirmed Celeste's pregnancy, nodding once before smiling weakly at him. "I suppose I have to congratulate the pair of you then...although I wish it was under slightly different circumstances. And I know what you would do for them, Zoroark. I know how devoted you are to all of them, and it's not because I want you to be gone from here that I'm telling you it's impossible for you to stay..." He hesitated for a moment, before continuing.

"As you are no doubt aware, I am very...fond of Maria. Hence why I assisted Noctis in getting her to a safe place to raise her; the human world. But demons don't belong here, Zoroark...nothing can belong here that was created outside of this world. And so you being here, all of you, will slowly corrode it. Even I couldn't be sure of the effects it would have, but...I've always been fairly selfish, so I brought Maria and your brother here regardless. Their presence for the last...I don't even know how long it's been in human years, but you've seen how much Maria's grown...will have been slowly rotting away this world, causing cracks. That's no doubt how you got here, through one of those cracks...I wasn't careful enough, and now it's backfiring. I've been trying to stabilise it, of course, but it's hard...terribly hard, it may not even be possible to repair the damage, but I'm trying my best..." He looked down, rubbing his arm silently and staring into space for a moment before fixing his gaze on Zoroark. "Now that all of you are here it will get so much worse. It's like...like you've filled a glass tank with water and sealed it, but somehow the volume of water keeps increasing. The glass begins to crack and even if you repair it it's still only a matter of time before it smashes...although perhaps that's a terrible comparison. Forgive me. It's hard to explain things I cannot understand myself," Chaos smiled weakly.

"Of course, it isn't your fault that this is happening...there is no one to blame but myself, so I have to take responsibility for it. I haven't told Maria any of this either...I don't want to worry her, she's still only a child...this world is still a safe place for her, and will remain that way so long as I can prevent it from collapsing. So perhaps it is simply selfish of me to ask you to leave...but do you understand, Zoroark? At least a little bit? Even if the extra strain from your mere presence could be controlled there's still things like magic. I have a high enough opinion of you to believe you would restrain yourself from using it, but...I also know how controlled by your emotions you are. Say Hazel was to have a bad fall and injure herself in some minor way, you might be able to leave it to heal naturally if it was just a graze...but what if it was worse? Say she sprained her ankle, or broke her leg. Perhaps I'm being too harsh and you would still leave things in the hands of human doctors...but you'd reach a limit eventually. Certainly if Celeste were...possibly dying...you'd do everything within your power to save her, and tear the world apart yourself if you failed. So I can't trust you to control yourself like that...if you and your family choose stay here, I cannot guarantee that the world will remain the safe place you wish it to be. And even if it does, I cannot say what the cost will be..." He finished wearily, looking away. "...perhaps I will take something to eat after all. Some tea would be nice, if nothing else."
