Final.

CREATION.

It's the middle of the morning, when the summon finally comes.

It comes in the form of the Commanders seeming more formal than usual - there's something in their demeanor that's off, decidedly more stiff than usual, though not in a way that implies they're being controlled; it's just a matter of something happening, and they aren't altogether certain what to do with it, but they're here to bring you the general message that Master Cyrus is waiting for you.

They won't wish you luck, for obvious reasons; they will, however, come with you. If this is going to happen today, then they want to be present for it, and they'll accompany you to the top of that massive stairwell in the center of that area you first walked in on. There's a large set of double doors at the top; they've been locked until now, but at the moment they'll open easily at your touch.

There's really only one place to go from here.

The doors will lead you to a place that appears, for all intents and purposes, to be outside, though it's difficult to say exactly where; there's a chill in the air - this is, of course, a rather cold region, though it isn't as bad as it could be out here - and you seem to be incredibly high up, but the floor still seems solid beneath your feet as opposed to translucent, and there's a railing ringing the outside of the area you've been let out into. Like a balcony of sorts, though it's a massive one, more than enough to accommodate all of you.

It's incredibly simple, given that this is apparently where you're going to meet with someone who claimed the title of "god" for himself and hasn't looked back since.

Speaking of which, you aren't alone here; Cyrus is present, hands settled on that railing as he looks out over the region for a moment longer. He'll turn to greet you properly after a moment, however; there's a brief gesture to his Commanders - clearly instructing them to stay back near the door, out of the way but more than capable of overseeing what's going to ensue here - before he turns his attention to the group, folding his hands behind his back.

"You've come a long way since we first met... And longer still since your journey started. I'm sure you're aware that this isn't as it was in Sunyshore City - should we be required to turn this place into a battlefield, we will do so without hesitation, and despite your actions stemming from deep imperfection, we intend to act without mercy, if it comes to that.

"However, I'm sure you have many things you want to say at the moment... Were I opposed to hearing them, there would be little point in allowing you to come here in the first place. Speak your piece; do as you see fit. There's no sense in pretending that we don't all know why you're here."

Using that very logic, suffering is the default. Without the ability to choose what one feels, there's no ability for a person to change. Joy and sadness are two sides of the same coin; you can't have one without the other.

[yeah he can't really argue with that]

But that doesn't help people. The result is being alive without living. I know more than my fair share of that, believe me.

Yet you'd rob people of the ability to heal. I'll spend the rest of my life healin', but that doesn't mean I'm not doing it.

Time and time again I've seen cases of the people here still having concerns, still having anxiety. They just lack the capacity to express it properly.

You ain't exactly getting my point, I don't think.

[He's talking about you, too, you walnut.]
semistableman: (♟ i wonder)

Healthy people don't exactly wake up one day and think "you know what would improve the world? Nobody having emotions!"

You know how I know that? Because I have thoughts like that.
