 Heaven has nothing to do with it! You know how...you must know...that we can't take all these Ani-Mates back with us...not while monsters like The Right are there, ready to cage and torture them! The Ani-Mates fought alongside of us! They earned the right to live on their own, to find out who and what they are. And we can't leave them here, to fall prey to those Smile-Faces...so I put the Smile-Faces where they can't hurt anyone else!
