"There was a--" the young man says, suddenly, as they're walking towards, as Hiroki now thinks of it, Atlas's place. Further from any centre of Nexus.
"You know there were many Druids? Or maybe you don't."
"The Druid I've remembered just now. His name is Maecidus. He loves the High Priestess with all his heart. Well, they all do, you know."
"His name is Maecidus. He had come into my head once. That was neat, because apart from such visits, all there was was pain and darkness."
"Maecidus said 'This one is probably blind, too. Another failure.'
I wanted to know what's 'blind'. Maecidus said, 'It means all that awaits any Subject is darkness.'
Something waiting for me? That was new. Something waiting for me, really? Would anything?"
Hiroki shakes his head.
"That stayed with me for next some days. Not that anything else happened for those days, so. Of quiznaking course that stayed with me. I was... wondering. Wondering what 'darkness' was and why it waits for me."
