Author's note: Read the next chapter before this one! The publishing was weird, so the next chapter that was supposed to be before this chapter is now after, so 105 is 104 and 104 is 105. I apologize for the inconvenience.

The mental space was always quiet, but it wasn't empty. Fen hadn't completely emptied it of all the memory orbs- which was amazing, considering how much he'd used the Soul Energy's bursts of strength in his fight with Preacher- and their dim glow was the only thing that announced their presence in the dark. In the other times that he'd been here, the orbs of memory had flickered in place to express their anger or resentment at being stored here, but none of them even moved now. Perhaps the fragmented ego inside all those orbs sensed their master's mood and decided not to piss him off anymore, which was a good decision on their part.
