The images went on and there was nothing as William explained, about Basker saying those words or even a scene he doesn't remember.
Everything here was what William knows
There were no answers to his memories being taken. Instead, I got a whole glimpse of William's entire life here in this orb. Flashing through my eyes like a never-ending image, everything about him... his times in the library, reading, cataloging, learning from Basker, at the earliest he was the only one in the library... Basker was mostly asleep in his form and William was left alone most of the time.
I finally caught a glimpse of Basker and what he looked like... indeed he is an avatar of this place, he doesn't have a physical body but instead, he appeared to William in the form of a root face, mostly in the top of the fireplace or on walls, it was bit scary but that was what he is... he was the extension of the very library, HE is the library himself before William took over
