After a long time, Sores finally opened his eyes.
Then, with a strange expression, he spread his hand open to reveal the blue orb of light in his palm.
It was intact, without the slightest damage.
"What's the matter?" Heine asked.
Sores: "It seems it no longer belongs to me, or rather, after experiencing all these events and ultimately arriving at Makala, my Origin has undergone certain changes, so much so that we are no longer one entity."
He seemed to find his own explanation a bit obscure, so he added:
"As the connection between us was severed, it became possible for it to give birth to a new will, and indeed that was the case. Your Skeleton encountered a will that was clearly not my own.
"But as it destroyed that presumptuous new consciousness in the temporary Spirit Space, it became ownerless once again.
"After changing hands twice, it no longer belonged to me and instead became a kind of free, wild, 'unassigned' Origin."
