The First was flooded with Light.

[Which is an answer and it isn't.]

[ It is and it isn't, but she doesn't pick up on the nuance. ]

He became a Sin Eater. The first Sin Eater, trapped in his own body and frustratingly aware for a hundred years. Unable to talk, to even really move. ...It's enough to drive anybody mad. And he did go mad. But he found me again one day, reborn... and wholly unaware, at the time, of who I was.

[He folds his arms.]

Of course he found you. Ah, but he did not have ...

How much do you actually remember?

That's a complicated question. The short answer is that it most assuredly isn't everything.

How about the history of the star? Do you remember it or was it told to you?

I remember it.

How is that even possible? You would need someone to rise you up to your abilities.

Mitron was very determined.

If you remember, you know who I am, do you not? Or at least m title.

It's possible, but the name "Alexander" does not ring any bells and I do not recognize your face to put a title to it.

[He gives a bow.]

Emet-Selch.

[ Oh. Oh. ]

Somehow, you are the last person I expected to ever meet.

I never was much for gathering with all of you. That was more Lahabrea and Elidibus' role. Yet here we are.

But you wish to remain on the First despite all that you know?

....All of the Unsundered are dead. Yourself, Lahabrea, Elidibus... even if I wanted to change the way things are, I could hardly do so all by myself.

....But....

It is not quite accurate to say I wish to remain on the First regardless. My aim at present is to traverse the stars, to move between them at will. Beyond that.... I hadn't planned much ahead.

[He taps his chin for a long moment considering.]

I could teach you. How to raise an Ascian up to their full ability. Though I would have to understand how Mitron was able to do it, and if he was only able because it was you.

And what purpose would that serve? Moving between the shards.

I would strongly suspect it was only because it's me, though I could go into further detail. As for the why of things... I believe I mentioned a dear friend? There are those she wishes to see on other worlds, and I would like to travel with her.

I am afraid it is difficult even for Ascians to traverse across the shards. I imagine this friend of yours is a resident of the First.

[ Gaia sighs deeply. ]

That was a concern, but nevertheless I wish to make the attempt. And yes, she is of the First.

You have the Hero of the Source and the Crystal Tower. Perhaps it is possible.

But you are only prolonging their suffering. These shards. Whatever peace you might have obtained will be gone soon. Such is the cycle of these creatures who cannot remember their past.

That is true. But at least for the present, it is the life I wish to pursue. Whether that changes in the future.... who can say. But it is my choice.

[I AM SORRY THIS NOTIF GOT EATEN.]

[He shrugs.]

What is one more lifetime to you? But as you wander from life to life to life, you might find yourself rather lonely.

[ AND THEN I PROCEEDED TO GET VERY DISTRACTED, I'm so sorry. ]

[ She is quiet for a moment, her gaze turning towards the water. ]

Yes, I.... know that. And this friend I have right now, she will be gone while I will keep going. It's not an easy path I've chosen. But it will take some time to find Mitron again, and I want to be able to tell him of the adventures I had while I searched for him.
