Desire can't be deadly, unless, of course, it turns the universe into a tiny speck through emptiness, again.
The Big Bang. A tiny speck that floated through darkness, exploded and formed the universe as we know it. That was how everything began, they say. But that wasn't the only one. We weren't the only universe that existed.
The Big Restore. This was how the first three universes before us ceased to exist billions of years after each had existed because of the Big Bang. What happens then? The universe comes back to being a speck in the darkness again. What causes this? Well that part's tricky.
The Sents. They are the only ones that survives these Restores and lives again on the universe that will be born. No one knows how or why they survive. But preventing Restores to happen, they searched for the cause for years and they have it found out.
The Reses. A Res exists in each universe in any form, in any kind, in any race of a dominating species. They carry threats, and as universal threats go, this should and must be dealt with. The Restore happens when someone that they once loved who loved them leaves them by will, and knowing that someone that was once theirs isn't theirs anymore, their desire for that someone only grows a lot more, and with it an energy capable of restoring the universe to what it once was.
The Sents have decided on how to stop the universe from being Restored again. They'll have someone do the dirty work for them. They kill the desired before the potential Res sees an indicator that their desired isn't theirs anymore, and let it be known just later that their desired is dead. In this case, grief is better than obsession.
And the Restore still happens when the Reses are killed. Therefore, this is the only thing to do. One for the many. A killing for a cause, for life to continue on.
