I thought like four chapters ago, why doesn't Lucy close their gates, well maybe she can't because they're being absobed and that's why reading MS, I thought it made more sense, as in: if I can't close the gate, then I will end the contract because I care about them, you know. Like it would make more sense to me that it took so long, because it's a tough decision to make.
