"Treasured time", huh. Tithe is like...offerings, right? Money or stuff. Or, in this case, giving up something important to obtain the "treasured time" of stability and happiness? Maybe that's a stretch, I dunno.

That's correct. [ re: tithes. ] That's not a bad theory. I thought perhaps their treasured time would be a moment of unification, where all come together.
