“What are you doing here, Unukalhai?” Elidibus expands the sphere of his influence, a shielding of aether to push away the swell of the darkness. This child should not be here; though Unukalhai had been brought through into the rift, surrendered his mortality as surely as any of the other souls here, he remained but a shard and there was no telling how the aether here might affect him.

“Is everywhere like this?” Unukalhai’s voice is quiet, and he tucks himself in close. Perhaps he is aware that he should not venture far from Elidibus’ protective aether.

“If you are hoping to find a part of the star unaffected by this calamity, then you will be disappointed.” There is no kindness in fostering false hope, and Unukalhai has already been made aware of the truth. 

“Not even a little bit?” His voice cracks with the pain of losing his home, a pain Elidibus still feels all too keenly. Centuries have yet to dull its edge, and even the slightest graze of it against his mind sets it bleeding all over again. The pain of such a loss… it resonates so powerfully with the souls that comprise Him it chokes the breath from Elidibus’ lungs. 

“Such is what happens when the balance is shattered,” he finally answers on the edge of his breath. Unukalhai’s grip upon his robes tightens. “There is no enduring it, nor escaping it. Any souls that remained after the flood would have eventually been corrupted by its influence.”

“But what about me?” 

“You endure because you no longer dwell in this place. Even the rift maintains its own balance that prevents such corruption. If you remain here too long, then you too will succumb to the same fate as these people.”

“Is there really no way to save them?” 

“I cannot say.” Perhaps there was, perhaps there was not. He has not exhausted every possibility, every avenue, but further action seems unwise. Elidibus has already lost too much in his ignorance of Hydaelyn’s curse upon the star and with Zodiark still dormant, his own ability to act was severely limited. 

For all his efforts, he could only save a single child.

Meanwhile...

"I've been getting a lot of fan mail for somebody named Raymond. I don't even know who that is. Apparently he's identified as a cat with a yellow eye and a green one, and often wears glasses... But it's not me."

There's a palace caretaker for the Ul'dahn sultanate who gets annoyed every time the Scions are invited to a function, because it means they'll be lint rolling Y'shtola off the fancy chairs again.
