@khaeios: Someone sits at the edge of their cliff, white hair shining in the starlight. They come here, where even the Dawn Device is not visible in the distance, to look up at the stars and wonder: would this be the recurrence these endless cycles finally veered off - course? Did any of those cold, distant stars hold the hope they so stubbornly waited for? Khaos lets out a heavy sigh as their mask vanishes into smoke, and their footsteps come to stand next to Phainon.
"Did you remember this place?" they asked, voice ragged with exhaustion. "Every recurrence, this becomes our shelter. Tell me, Phainon, why are you here? I have no answers to give that you do not already have yourself."
without fail, they drag themselves to the dawn device, to look up at kephale and hope that maybe, just maybe, they will give them the answers they seek in how to usher era nova to the people of amphoreus. they want to yell at them, to get answers, but when they approach, they see that shadow of khaos already there, exhausted, but still determined to talk.
a sigh leaves phainon as they look to the statue properly, a hand over their heart as they shake their head.
"i remember here in my current life time, and every time before... where i come here, and yell at kephale for giving the world a lie that they hold onto this world... what do they hold onto? nothing. you know that, when you keep cutting the chains, khaos..." they looked at them with a squint.
"but i also come here still to take it's shelter... because i wish for some comforts... is that so wrong of me, khaos? you're here too... because you hold to those comforts too."
