[They're exactly like humans, really. The fact the ToyAgumon are actually singing cheerfully as they start to cook is testament to that. This could just as easily be the Grandship, with the proprietress singing away as she's preparing all sorts of culinary delights.]
...Believing we're conscious projections may very well make all of this go by more easily. I've no idea, frankly. But I'll believe whatever I can in order to make this less trying than it has to be. There's nothing implicitly stating we're not, after all. It may very well be the case.
[And there's a small exhale.]
I've no reason to lie to you - not about anything. I remember exactly what you said last happened, the vampire- Lord DeRosso- got us. Alternis Dim carried you to your room to await the Templar... and we were slung into the dungeons. Presumably to rot, who knows. But that was not the case - you used a passage in your room and saved the day by rescuing us.
Of note is the fact the sage Yulyana appears to be a member of the Council of Six. I don't know why... nor why, after revealing that, he helped us escape. Regardless, we all went forward to confront the Templar. We defeated him, but Edea - know this. He lived. If some part of you worried for him - [No. Best not. It's not his place.]
....He is alive. Trust me on this. We overpowered him, but we did not kill him. We awakened the Earth Crystal after defeating the thing which came from it. Airy's broach lit up entirely... then we took the Grandship to where an enormous pillar of light formed, beyond the sea of the Corsairs. Then... Airy started meditating, in order to gather the light and spread it across the world, in order to close the chasm and destroy all of the darkness. We thought we'd finally done it - but Zatz and Datz alerted us to Alternis Dim landing on deck. He'd been waiting for us the entire time - the fact I didn't see his airship...
[Ugh. There's a small hairflip. He's... actually pretty disgusted at himself for that one, even though there's no way he could have known what was inside the pillar. It was too bright.]
...Regardless, he intended to kill us. You as well, eventually.
[No. He's not going to explain about the marriage proposal.]
We had to defeat him. He was bloodied, and gravely injured, but you stayed your blade. Then his helmet fell off. He looked at me, and questioned why. Then the pillar exploded - he fell off the edge of Grandship. We all tried to grab his hand, but the shock was too violent - the distance too great. We were too far away from him, for obvious reasons. He's quite deadly when he's in that condition.
[Extremely disconcerting. He might actually be fidgeting, slightly. What can be said. Even for him, seeing his own face on that man is beyond disarming.]
...You would know if he had a brother of some sorts, wouldn't you? We're identical, Edea - and it's the only explanation for any of it... albeit the "evil twin" thing being a very tired old cliche.
[A small exhale. He's going to stay quite quiet about parts of their journals being identical though. There's just no explaining that.]
...After that, I woke here. With Escha.
[Who is woefully silent, and looking to the ground in disgust.]
