"Keltham thinks that reality is very large and we were selected for him, not created, which does make a difference to some of our strategic playing though only at the level where the Most High oversees all our moves. In particular, the question of whether, if we consider doing something that would cause Keltham to have retroactively never arrived here, the alternative we're playing against is this world having never existed or this world never getting a Keltham."
"Leaving that aside, I'd point out that Keltham is, in fact, a normal teenage boy who suddenly ended up in a very weird-to-him universe where he's extraordinary and has a lot of extremely special girls fawning over him, as is secretly a plot by the forces of hell to corrupt him to Evil. This part is not, in fact, in question. The question is why. And the theory is that it's all part and parcel of the same force that put Keltham down at the Worldwound where Sevar would be the first person he'd talk to."
