However, it wouldn't be enough to just pick up some random scraps. There was plenty of trash here on this plane, back at Renier's temple, no one was ever hurting for trash. No, Gordon actually had to go to the laundry and the ruins to pick up something that actually came from these places. It might be romantic thinking on Gordon's part, but he wanted to make a slingshot from the trash and discarded things from the ruins. It wouldn't matter in the long run or to anyone else, but it would matter to Gordon. And it would make the items more meaningful to him.
