[Ah, seems like Fitz might be a little squeamish about bodies and... other such things. Leonardo decides that, perhaps, he'll have to save his discussions of various corpses with Rainer herself, instead of bringing them to him.]
Don't worry. If someone happens to build this smaller crossbow of yours, then it would be the builder who's changed things, not you. [He smiles a little. Building things is somewhat difficult, as it usually costs more coin and resources than it seems. But designing them in the first place, that part costs nothing besides the paper he's drawn on.]
Yes, that is... something I have heard. [He clasps his hands, thinking about it.] It seems sad to me. But... I suppose that would prevent us from changing our own worlds too much, with things we have learned here. [So, no, he probably can't invent warp pads when he gets back to his workshop in Venezia.] And if we do not remember the friends we have made, it would be very hard to miss them. [Which is... sad, in a different kind of way.]
This world is kinder than the one I know. But there can still sometimes be cruelty, or unfairness, or things that could be made better. [He thinks of Prom, and the chaos in the halls.]
So, perhaps there is nothing we can do to change this forgetting, as there was nothing we could do to avoid arriving in the first place.
[He takes a little breath, his shoulders releasing some weight.] But... perhaps there is something that can be done, and we will not know until we try. And in the mean time, we can learn from each other, and that is always worthwhile, even if we do not always like the end results.
