I wasn't in a throne room when it happened. Felt more like...

I don't know. A fortress? It was too dark to tell.

[ Noctis sighs, pinching the bridge of his nose. Figuring this out is weird, and there's too much uncertainty here. ]

If it was moved like that and put on display, it'd make sense that it was at least a part of the war. Or some fight.

[ His hand drops, and he leans back against the couch again. ]

Nothing really explains why it ate me up like that. Unless it just eats people.

[daemonized]

A crystal that eats people.

[It isn't... the weirdest thing that he's heard, but it's pretty up there.]

There must be more to it than that.

[Unless Noctis was some sacrificial lamb to a man-eating crystal, but he wonders if he should really mention that very disturbing imagery.]

At any rate, our memories still continue to line up. Though I wonder which happened first; my memory of a throne room, or yours of a fortress?

[kittycaterer]

The more I think about it, the more my head hurts.

[ But he doesn't sound as mortified and upset as he has in the past. The last few times he's explained this, he's had minor, mental horrors that have struck him. ]

I mean, I'm alive now. Can't be sure if it killed me... And I don't remember much outside of that to gauge when it happened.

[ God, he hates even saying that? ]

But the verdict's still out about whether or not Retrospec is forcing someone else's memories on us or if it was past life entirely.

[daemonized]

Whether you survived or not... I wonder how much bearing that actually has on the situation. If these were past lives, a death means little to your life now.

[But that's a big if these days, isn't it?]

But as you said, that depends on what theory you subscribe to. Both are a bit disturbing in their own right. I can tell you that neither one of us ever asked to be reconstructed.
