The scene

Curio
Though the boy said nothing, his stricken expression was enough to know that something was deeply, terribly wrong.
Milk
Matcha?
Matcha
…
Chicha
…You okay dude?
Matcha
. . .No.
Chicha
Uh Oh.
Anchan
Oh no dear! What happened?
Matcha
The sixth… My school. My home...
Coffee
Details, child.
Matcha
…
Milk
Coffee, hush. Take your time Matcha. What about your home?
Matcha
It’s gone.
Rum
Taken? By the tide?
Matcha
…
Rum
…I’m sorry son. Truly.
Matcha
You don’t get it. It’s not just the tide its… its all…
Anchan
Broken?
Matcha
Yes. That’s just it. The sixth spire wasn’t just destroyed, it was ruinous. Just rubble and overgrowth… like a century had passed.
The Circle
A rough approximation though not entirely inaccurate.
Milk
Circle, explain yourself. Now.
The Circle
Such matters have already been addressed. This very conversation takes place beyond the boundaries of linear time at the intersection of forever and always.
Matcha
…We’re desynchronized from chronology itself.
The Circle
You expected nothing of the material world to change?
Chicha
So all this timey-wimey $#%@$#$& meant decades were flying by in the real world?
The Circle
Again, crudely articulated… but roughly correct.
Coffee
You lied to us.
The Circle
Not at all. Once your duty is fulfilled you shall return to your respective homes as promised.
The Circle
However, returning to the precise point at which you left is and always has been… a mathematical impossibility.
Rum
You meddle with the clock each time you bring us back to a fighting fit state! Why not do the same when we are dismissed?
The Circle
To revert the course of the universe would be to undo all of your work and re-jeopardize the fate of mana itself. This is not an option.
Anchan
You had these people fight for a home you already took from them.
The Circle
Time passes. This is a truth all will reckon with at some point. Take solace in the enormous good your sacrifices will do.
Chicha
$#%@ this, I’m out.
Rum
Chicha, wait.
Matcha
…
Milk
How can you possibly expect us to help after you hid this from us?
The Circle
Because your sacrifice has already been made. Because the cost of failure is too great. Because it is the right thing to do.
Matcha
Maybe.
The Circle
Certainly.
