You cheated not only the game, but yourself.
You didn't grow.
You didn't improve.
You took a shortcut and gained nothing.
You experienced a hollow victory.
Nothing was risked and nothing was gained.
It's sad that you don't know the difference.
I know that feel.
I get why you might want to keep the info on the artifacts you use on a need-to-know basis, just so you still have something up your sleeve when one of your comrades joins the Journeys, but surely the intel about the Journeys themselves should just become common knowledge...
