"Yeah," Lea said, clearly not any fonder of the idea than Prompto. "The ones who are actually native to this world were mostly the result of how the Isle was set up. Men and women weren't kept separate, and with not that many entertainment options available... yeah, kids were kinda inevitable."
"What wasn't inevitable was them being left there, which I still don't get. There was some stupid idea about evil being genetic or something; whether people actually believed it or it was just an excuse, I don't know but that, as far as I know, was the official line. Ben realized how dumb that was, but by that point the kids had been spending years going to actual schools and being raised by parents that literally teaching them to be as evil as possible, so there were.... issues with getting the Isle kids integrated."
"Currently, people get dropped either here or on the Isle kinda at random; that includes kids. People who've done evil things or have dark pasts seem more likely to arrive on the Isle, but we've got no way of knowing what the actual criteria whatever spell or force or whatever is making the determination uses to decide who ends up where. If there even are any."
