[She hadn't considered that before, but it makes sense. From a certain perspective, at least. Still, she's struggling with the morality of all of this. Not just Jinx and her presence, but Echo too.]
I don't see why we should need to prove whether or not we deserve to live. Life isn't a matter of deserving or undeserving, really. Why should anyone, including Echo, get to choose who lives and who dies?
[ It's also profit and loss - and how useful any life is. ]
I suppose that, too, is the morality that we're fighting to prove here, too. And, perhaps, even if there is a finite amount of universes that can survive, it doesn't mean that those representatives who are here aren't among the unchosen.
What if those who have no representatives are lost but we are all saved? [ Another fun little thought, if he's honest. ]
But what isn't speculation is this... I shall defer to you on what to do. Those people are those you know and in the short amount of time we've spoken to one another, I do trust you. And... we've agreed to be there for one another.

I think that's the best we can do for now.

Yes. Of course. We'll be there for one another. And if anything changes, you'll hear about it. I promise.
In the meantime, we'll... keep doing what we can. To uncover this place's secrets.

Yes. One foot in front of the other, and all that.
