...one of the friends you left behind? [...] I know I'm asking a lot of questions, but I guess I'm just wondering about it. Did you tell your friends what you were going to do before you did it?
[yeah there are multiple lups screaming in the universe]
It is no bother. Should I not wish to talk about it I simply would not. [a little smile.] Emet-Selch is one of the friends I left behind, yes. As for telling them, ah - well, it was their organization that decreed it necessary. So I daresay both of them knew, yes.
...I don't know if your friends would agree, but I think I get it. I might've done the same thing if it meant making sure the people I cared about were safe.
["might have", like he didn't do something like that on a smaller scale.]
[makes total sense to a ff-adjacent. after all, it's not the first time that he's heard of people dying and being reborn whole. but he doesn't say that. instead, he contemplates for a moment before he continues his thought.]
It's not really the end for me, so I bet it's not the end for you either.
Yeah. I thought it might be, but I'm starting to think it really isn't now. [he doesn't necessarily mind sharing, but he's tentative in his approach, like he's not sure how much is too much to say.]
...I think I understand your position maybe a little more than you'd think.
[he watches carefully.] You hold quite a bit within you, friend. Hints of others, not just Riku and Kairi. Distinct enough that I can see them but not identify them.
When souls are twined like this, to me it means your destinies are linked. You will always find each other, as like aether finds like aether, always.
[he seems to think about that before there's a confirming nod.]
It's a really long story, but...everyone's fine now. All of their hearts are where they're supposed to be, and they're all alive and they're their own people. [but, about finding each other.] ...I hope that's true. When I made that choice, I knew I'd be saying goodbye to them but it didn't matter as long as they were safe. But they told me they're looking for me. I don't know how, but...we always find each other eventually.
[he dares to hope that maybe they really will come bring him home.]

I did wait, in order to be sure they would not stop me.
no subject
...do you regret anything else about it?
no subject
... No, I do not think I do. I was not useful for much else.

Yes, precisely, and this was my use. My greatest contribution.

Our aether returns to the star and is reborn again. It is not the end for me, I think. [...] Or I hope.
no subject
It's not really the end for me, so I bet it's not the end for you either.
no subject
... Well, now. That sounds like a story. Not the end for you?
no subject
...I think I understand your position maybe a little more than you'd think.
no subject
I thought that may be the case. The way your soul twines with Riku and Kairi's tells me much.
no subject
What...all does it tell you? [he's just asking before he gives more information than hythlodaeus needs. no sense in repeating what he already knows.]
