Theo knew it would be hard to convert the Space Saint from a bystander to an ally. But he was confident he could somehow convince the Space Saint to trust him.
Theo added, "I can promise you three things. First, I'm going to fix the reality as soon as it's over. Second, this crack won't become worse than the current condition. If it's by any chance showing any sign of deteriorating, I'll do everything in my power to fix it, including paying the price with my own life.
"Last but not least, I assure you that everything will be restored within a year or two. As someone who has a long lifespan, I'm sure one or two years are bearable for you, right?"
Theo's promise wasn't too big but couldn't be easily accepted either.
As he said, one or two years should be fine as long as the condition doesn't deteriorate. And Theo even gave his assurance to do everything he needed to fix it in case the worst thing happened.
