...Unsuuuuuuure. On the one hand, yes, this place needs to stop, it's a nearly dead world on life support (and he can FEEL that now that he has his full alchemic ability back), where people are being used and thrown away, and yes, for every one who wins, how many never go home again?
On the other hand, if they're successful, it's likely all those who HAVE come here who aren't out by the time they succeed may never get their wishes. And worse, may be trapped here... he's not sure how Messenger intends for them to get back to their homes and not be stuck on this dead world. And while he's been assured that those with Foreman and other Judges will be "safe" (inasmuch as they can be, anyway), everyone lost to the Old Man is likely beyond salvation, and that's hard to reconcile.
And worse, it's not something he can really discuss with much of anyone (he'll likely talk with Jace about at least some of it, but not even the full details there, and only because he trusts Jace with literally anything), so he has to try to work it out more or less on his own, which in this case is not the easiest thing to do. Del just got kind of a heavy thing dropped on them, and he's not entirely sure they can handle something like this, but he's not entirely sure they can't either, really.

How's Tazendra settling in so far?
