The Realm was able to stabilize somewhat, after the first death.

[suddenlybees]

'cause... of something we did, all the nova stuff? I still don't get how this works. Nova's, like, other people's memories scattered around that we gotta collect, but why should dead people matter? They're just one person.

Help me, Goat, I'm dumb and don't understand anything.

[retellers]

It's not entirely about the death, as so much as the Realm wasn't originally meant to house life, but had to because it was an emergency. The act of removing such a life--when it first happened, the Realm wasn't fully prepared to handle it.

That is why the deaths that followed afterwards don't have the same impact that Hajime's did.

Wait wait wait- we're going to back up and talk about all those very important things, but first, I need to know:

Are those bears and rabbits and everything out in the woods not alive?

[retellers]

That's a little different... It isn't an effort on the Realm's part to house them, as they aren't participants.

[suddenlybees]

So the """Realm""" dragged us here to participate and then freaked out because it couldn't handle us being here, nor could it handle us not being here anymore.

[ Realm, please, ]
