You skip Zevvie's difficulties. Pnimm doesn't even know them, so ze doesn't need to know how they're feeling.

MARIYAM: (We've ascertained that the Vessels don't already exist, so rather than repairing them we're trying to create them.)
KUVIU: }:/
PNIMM: (Is that something I should know about? I don't remember knowing what the Vessels are but there's lots of things I don't remember)
MARIYAM: (No, I expect you haven't heard about them. Nobody else seems much concerned with the divine machinery that translates the light of creation into the physical realms.)
PNIMM: (???)
KUVIU: (hang on mari u always explain this confusingly)
KUVIU: (its like theres this powerful goodness thats the first thing to exist but its TOO powerful and if it touches the real world too much everything will explode)
MARIYAM: (You really do have a way with words.)
KUVIU: (hehehe thank u)
KUVIU: (the vessels are to kinda dilute the goodness and put it into the structures that form the universe i guess? so the universe will be stronger and therell be less of the powerfulness coming into it and more in its bones kinda)
KUVIU: (how was that)
MARIYAM: (Remarkably succinct. And you give a good picture of the overview even if the details are a little shaky.)
KUVIU: (yay!)
MARIYAM: (It seemed like you were both otherwise occupied on the ship when Apoc was explaining their plan for creating a "new universe," but it should require a similar process of regulating pure creative energy into a physical realm.)
MARIYAM: (However, it's believed that the universe we live in has broken its Vessels. A flaw was introduced when they were created and the goodness flowing through them was too powerful for them to hold.)
MARIYAM: (The shards became clipos, the demonic husks that occlude the light of the Name. They're the reason we have things like jealousy, starvation, and war.)
KUVIU: (wait but the clipos are the dwellers in the furthest ring right? thats what u said about them? theyre not actually causing wars are they??)
MARIYAM: (To simplify, not directly. To complicate the answer just a little, the clipos within the world are a reflection of those outside it.)
PNIMM: (And you want to reclaim them to turn them back into new Vessels?)
MARIYAM: (Yes. Some say we can do this slowly by performing mitzvas, but why not do it all at once?)
MARIYAM: (This would still require a, a good essence for each vessel, to make it stronger than just shards glued together. That's the sticking point at the moment.
TAHOMAZ: You know we can clearly hear every word you're whispering two feet away from us, right?
MARIYAM: So sorry to disturb your important work. I'm only trying to assure the essential goodness of the universe.
APOC: th--
MARIYAM: I know already you think it's a waste of time, and I don't care.
APOC: when did i EVER say that?
MARIYAM: You always made it felt.
