"...Of course." Opposition Twilight nods after taking a moment to process it.

Thing is, that ''didn't make any sense. ''The Tree should've found new bearers if it wanted them again - it wouldn't try to fix old ones. Her alternate counterpart and her friends were dead; their connection to the Elements is lost, and since none of them were immortal (except for possibly her alternate counterpart, but she knows very well that it was possible for an alicorn to get killed and not revive, which seems to be the case here), reviving them wouldn't fix that connection. Nothing would. And to top it all off, all six had essentially become murderers spreading disharmony, except for this universe's Rainbow Dash, who had become a murderer spreading Order; and while she was all in favor of that, Harmony was the inbetween of Order and Chaos, it didn't favor one over the other - and this universe's Rainbow had an Order that was very oppressive, and considering that Harmony was the one force of the universe with morals...

It doesn't make any sense! Unless...

Unless this universe's version of Discord had poisioned the Tree with Chaos, thus making it act illogically. Could he do that? Well, he'd managed to do it with the Elements in her universe, and during her research to develop a spell that could incapitate Discord, she'd found that a previous Chaos Avatar had actually poisioned Yggsdrasil using something called the Element of Hatred - one of a set of seven Elements of Disharmony, apparently.

In fact, that would make a good amount of sense. If the tree was corrupted, chances are that corruption would eventually spread to the Elements, thus leading to their eventual breakdowns and turning into murderous selves. And the poisioning of Yggsdrasil with the Element of Hatred had resulted in a society that was equally as illogical and oppressive as the Rainbow Factory. So if Discord himself poisioned the Tree of Harmony, who was not nearly as strong as Yggsdrasil was...

She needed to check on the Tree of Harmony in this universe to confirm her theory. And if she was right, perhaps she could work on something to cure it. In fact, she could go ahead and find this universe's version of the Diadem of Order to help her...
