Let's rewind time for a bit. It happened when Orpheus was secretly visiting Nemesis. In another location, there was a black tent. Standing outside of this tent around a bonfire were Ella and Alvinia.
The bonfire was a flower of flame that opened heavenward, generous in golden sparks. Ella observed this moment before raising a question she had been curious about.
''Nui, what is your goal? I mean, what are you leaving for?"
Alvina didn't immediately offer an answer; she silently observed the crackling fire for a moment before finally opening her mouth.
''My goals are freedom and truth.''
Ella was confused by the first goal; she didn't overthink the second goal. Maybe she was trying to search for the truth about the ruins. She was not interested in that; what interested her more was Alvina's first goal.
