Rita leans back in her seat (squishing her wings a bit against the back), looking mildly amused. He's talking about her people like they're some ancient civilization... but maybe to him, they sort of are.
"Naturally, I keep records of everything. I've even started writing a book about blastia, to make sure that my knowledge and feelings about them can be communicated, without ambiguity, to future generations." She gestures to the papers on the table. While some appear to be notes and sketches relating to things found in the carnival and in the worlds visited here, there are a bunch of pages in slightly neater writing (Rita's penmanship is generally atrocious) that make up a partial rough draft of a book chapter.
When Rita thinks about all the things the Geraios civilization must have known about blastia, but failed to pass on, she knows she has to do better. She doesn't want historians to hypothesize about her motives for changing the world, and she doesn't want future generations to repeat the same mistakes that humanity already made before.
"Still, there are some things I need to do that, even if someone tried to continue my work, they probably wouldn't be able to learn enough in time to do what needs to be done." It might sound egocentric of her to say that no one else can do what she does, but as far as Rita's concerned, it's the truth.
