'Oblivion…'
Cassie let go of the memory, the word ringing in her head with countless meanings. This message she had left to herself was the reason why Nephis and Sunny left — it was the source of everything that happened since then.
It was why the Human Domain had fallen while its rulers were absent.
But what, exactly, did it mean?
Cassie was frozen for a moment, overwhelmed by the vast implications hidden behind that single word. She was just about to grasp its meaning and fathom it…
But then, something strange happened.
As soon as the word oblivion surfaced in her mind, the dark ocean of memories seemed to respond to it. It was as if an imperceptible ripple spread across it, and the memories glistened.
They glistened and moved, revolving slowly around a single point — her, the formless nexus of her Will.
Slowly at first, and then faster and faster, like a vast, furious vortex… or a boundless galaxy of glistening constellations.
