Ah. And we're back to the wings.

"They're not exactly normal, no," Lloyd states, not really wanting to explain the bullshit of Cruxis Crystals and exspheres and every shitty thing that's ruined his life but knowing he shouldn't really avoid the topic here, now, whatever. At the very least, switching to this subject takes his mind off of the previous, shittier topic of Zelos' death. "In my world, there are these stones - not really core crystals, but... They're called exspheres and Cruxis Crystals. They both offer strength and just generally better senses and shit, but Cruxis Crystals are different. They turn people into what we call Angels. Beings with incredible powers and stuff like wings."

Lloyd sighs, exhaling loud and raising his left arm to bring Mithos' attention to his hand, where the key crest lays embedded. "I have a... Mine was an exsphere, and eventually I gained powers like an angels, so technically, it became a Cruxis Crystal. Sheena has an exsphere too. Exspheres aren't uncommon in our world, but they suck, so I was trying to find a way to collect and destroy them before I found my way here. Cruxis Crystals, on the other hand... Those are incredibly rare. Only a handful of people have them, and Zelos was one of them."

Something of what Mithos says sticks to the forefront of Lloyd's mind, though. Lloyd had been running under the idea that this world's Origin - the Architect, whatever - was just going to be a reflection of his own. But Aselia's Origin doesn't have wings - or at least, not any like Zelos' or Mithos'. And Origin is definitively not human, not unless you call having four arms human, so Lloyd's left wondering this: If the Architect isn't a reflection of Aselia's, then who is Origin to this world?

"What... What did his wings look like?" Lloyd questions, trying to put together an image of a god he doesn't know in his head. "Our Origin - our Architect, I guess - didn't really have wings, but he had four arms and blonde hair. Does yours look like that?"
