    沈んだユグドラシルのエンジン、今頃深い沙の下で泣いてるのかなぁ……。                    
    いや、あいつはあそこで眠ってるんだ。 あそこが一番安らかに眠れる場所にちがいない。   
    そうでも思わないと……。
    
```

I'm not really understand this sentence - そうでも思わないと……

I think it's - **I guess you don't think so......** or - **If we don't believe
so......**

Is there some part omited here?

What does そうでも思わないと…… mean?
Yes, this sentence by itself literally means "if I don't believe so", and the
remaining part is left unsaid. The "full" version would be something along the
lines of
