->''"Do you know why I beat down Andy Cullen 6 years ago? I was playing this video game. You were like dating ghosts or something. And I was really into it. Played it like 24-7. Until this one afternoon, and suddenly, like, something broke. It was just like... pixels. the characters onscreen... I felt like I knew them; they weren't ''people'' anymore. They were just shapes. And their lines were just things someone had written: they never existed, they never had feelings. They never would exist, either. And it felt so ''sad'', like I'd just lost these real people, and this whole thing we had, it was just... me. Alone. And like that realization like dumped out of the screen and into real life went outside and the tree out front, I looked at it every day, it was like a friend outside the window. Now it was just a thing... just a thing that was there, growing and eating and just ''being'' there, like all the stuff i felt about the tree was just in my head, and there was some guy walking by, and he was just shapes, just like this moving bulk of... stuff. And I cried, because nothing was there for me anymore. It was all just stuff. Stuff in the universe, just... dead. And the next day was that softball game, and Andy was the pitcher when I was up, and he was just shapes too; just lines someone wrote, like nothing in there. And I was so scared and angry and just... I dunno. Before I knew it I was on top of him, smashing his face in with the bat; just shapes, red shapes all over the grass."''

->'''Ketheric Thorm''': I'll tell you a story, True Soul, about a man who sold himself, piece by piece. He had ''everything''...a wonderful wife, a brilliant daughter. They lived not far from here. His wife died too young...grief tore through their house like a thief, snatching away the scent of her hair, the rustle of her skirts...but the man did not break. He ''could'' not break. His daughter needed him ''whole'', after all. She grew up...grew strong, challenged him, filled his heart with such joy that it supplanted all sorrow...when she was killed, the man...he tried to remain whole, but ''it wasn't possible''. Do you understand?\\
'''[[PlayerCharacter Tav]]''': So the man fell to pieces.\\
'''Ketheric Thorm''': The pain was unbearable, all-consuming. He decided he'd do ''anything'' for reprieve. First, he sold himself to the goddess of loss...but the pain did not subside, no matter his obscene feats of devotion. Then a new god came, a god who promised the man something wonderful: ''his daughter'', her life returned. Imagine it...he would have to give everything, his body and soul entire. He did not hesitate, not for a moment. And the new god did as promised! The man's beautiful, brilliant daughter came back! She was whole...she was ''alive''! But...she despised the pitiful wretch her father had become...Her hatred he could bear, perhaps, as long as she had another chance to live...
