I haven’t been able to find my brother, Joshua, since the fog came. Has anyone seen a man, a little over 6 feet tall, light brown hair that’s a big longer, blue-green eyes, wears a lot of black and red, has a very formal and convoluted way of speaking? He’s kind, curious, intelligent. He would have done his best to help anyone who may have needed it during the mission.

Please, if anyone has seen him, call me, text me, yell my name from the top of a building, I don’t care. I just need to know that he’s okay.

Thank you for more context about Aphaia. Is it the only other place in a similar situation as us that Etraya has been exposed to since you got here? Any other places that have started to unravel or that are like Etraya in trying to stop it from happening?

We met Scylla. Dion, Sleipnir, and I, I mean. He gave us a page from a journal, told us there were others scattered around that could help give us proof that the universe is unraveling. He also basically implied that we are his only hope in figuring out how to stop it from happening.

Some suffering is to be expected, yes. That comes with the territory of fighting for something that you believe in. Does that mean I am going to sit by and watch the people close to me get hurt if I can help it? No. You can tell me that I don’t need to concern myself with you as much as you want, but it’s not going to stop me from doing it.

It is the only world we have been shown nearing its termination. Aurora had revealed it to us as a measure of proof, for it had been requested of her. Thus she offered us the chance to see for ourselves the grim reality that may yet prove our eventual end should naught be done at all.

I know not what to make of Scylla. Writings can be fabricated, and his means of ingress and contact leave much to be desired. That he should reveal himself during such a vulnerable mission bodes ill.

[He is just... going to ignore that bit about Mythos fussing about Barnabas. He finds it a pointless disagreement that neither will budge on. Of course protecting those who matter has its purposes, but Barnabas is not some damsel that needs to be saved by his own measure.]

Do you think it would have been possible to pull that world back from the brink? It makes me wonder how far gone a place needs to be before it can no longer be saved. I doubt there is a way to save every world. This will only get messier. I don’t know that it would come down to us specifically to make some tough decisions, but being here certainly influences those who do have to make them. We know that much for certain with Echo, even if we don’t know what the parameters are for those decisions.

I don’t trust him, but it’s like you said, we should explore all avenues of information that we receive. Assuming all of the journal entries he was distributing were found, we might be able to find out more on how to help our world and the worlds of the others here. For what it is worth, however much that may be, he said the only way he was able to get in was because Aurora opened the vent, and that Etraya is the only bubble city he has been able to gain entrance to. He was desperate, I believe that much.

[Everyone needs saving sometimes, even powerful Kings who cut off their hearts. Maybe even especially them. Clive lets the subject drop, too. They’ll never agree, and there is no point in pushing it.]
