-Comes to a stop partways into the forest, sitting on a stump-
... There's more than one universe. And each one is different. And each universe has its own branching set of timelines, and rules therein. The Cloud inside you and I are from different timelines. Mine is the alpha timeline - it's the main one. His is an offshoot, and not meant to be permanent - at some stage he made a decision that split his timeline from mine, and his timeline and the world in it faded away. But he stayed behind, because part of him is woven into another universe's timeline. So, after a few... disagreements, we came to an arrangement - he'd go from timeline to timeline and live out doomed lives. The deal was that he was not to make the timelines worse for the doomed inhabitants, which means that he only took bodies that were dead. And bodies that were himself.
Obviously he hasn't kept to that deal, and I'm sorry.
You mean a whole lot to him - in his timeline, you were a very close friend that he lost. In mine, too. He chose to save your life - none of this was meant to hurt you, and I'm sorry if it has. I kept the truth from you because I wasn't ready for this conversation, and that was wrong of me.
How-dee!

What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?I don't know. This Cloud is different to all the others I've dealt with. A real wildcard.
What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?Everyone here is an idiot. Or too polite to correct the idiots. Don't worry about what they think.

I won't be far away if you need someone to talk to.
