''<span class="mu-g">Your parents</span>, <span class="mu-s">this era</span>, <span class="mu-b">the growing humanity of monsters</span> created an <span class="mu-s">opportunity</span> for your soul to grow in safe <span class="mu-r">-yet free-</span> circumstances.'' Nyct continues, forcing your dreary thoughts back into the abyss they emerged from. ''You're not beholden to the past, Rey. Your parents had a problem and <span class="mu-s">Mother</span> dearest thought it was finally the right moment to allow <span class="mu-s">you</span> a chance to live, you understand?''
''I...think so. B-but if my soul was reforged by Mother Earth, why was I plagued by this incessant dream?'' You hold your hands together tight enough to feel your nails dig into your skin.
''Some souls cannot be healed by divine hands without completely <span class="mu-r">shattering.</span> <span class="mu-s">Mother</span> was faced with a choice; to completely obliterate your soul or let you <span class="mu-b">live</span> with some <span class="mu-g">imperfections.</span>'' Nyct walks away to stand beside the basin. ''And this little one here, is a <span class="mu-g">soul</span> just like <span class="mu-b">yours.</span>'' Her hand gently rested on the strange egg.
''The hands of an <span class="mu-r">evil</span> god toyed with this poor victim in a way so merciless that I will not voice these sins for they deserved to be eroded by the river of time. You two were <span class="mu-b">companions.</span>''
''The flute I played... the woman, m-me? She played music...''
''That was how this little one soul remained whole, she resisted the mutations and torture of the <span class="mu-r">Rakshasha</span>, because the woman who inhabits your dream was there to play her song...'' A shadow of bitterness crosses the holy features of the demi-goddess as she gently removes her hand from the egg.
''You were companions long, long ago and <span class="mu-g">my family</span> hoped to repair that, to let your souls meet again but that is ultimately your <span class="mu-s">choice</span>, Rey.'' Nyct gently holds her hands together, rethreading her path to return in front of you.
''Your body and soul have fully matured. You may not feel ready mentally, but if you allow me, <span class="mu-s">I can extinguish the remnants of these memories now that you've grown.</span> This... old scar in your psyche can disappear entirely. Or...'' She stops talking for a moment as she looks at your moving hands. You can't explain why you felt the urge to fetch the flute given to you by the baron out of your bag but holding onto it felt somehow appropriate.
''...You can try your best to find harmony with this memory. Either way, your soul -your existence- is not in any danger.''
You can finally be rid of this dream or...accept it for what it is. <span class="mu-s">A part of yourself.</span> Your musical talent is part of yourself too, from a you that lived very, very long ago. <span class="mu-i">Past life. My past life.</span>
''So this blue little one...Is another soul Mother Earth wishes to heal? We're similar?''
