...Well, I met him a while ago, way before any of this. We were kind of just stuck in the same situation back then. There was this goddess, well, sort-of goddess, and she was preparing to exterminate all life, so we worked to stop that.
We had another friend back then, Minato....I'll have to tell you about him sometime.
Anyway...after fighting side-by-side a while, we got to know each other...
....He was in bad shape. Bad. He was forcibly separated from the people he loved the most, and he was turning into this...amalgam. He was tortured by thousands of voices in his head, pushing him to consume everything.....he was a mess.

Actually, he's not that much different.
Well, he was definitely nicer to most people back then.
I tried constantly to get his spirits up, convince him to keep living. Told him he had friends and family to live for, not to abandon them, to live on for for them. You see how well that turned out.
I'm not sure if it helped him morally at the time, but physically he just kept getting worse and worse....
We did win, saved who we worked to save, happy endings all around.
And then....He just vanished. They all did.

...I wouldn't call myself much of a marathon runner or an acrobat. I'll stay.
Remember, One Suit, and you're back here. If it spots you and pursues, you either kill it or try your damn hardest to lose it, depending on the numbers. You do not lead them back here.

-Hopes no one questions how he just pulled a 100-pound sword not unlike Cloud's out of thin air, only to replace it again-
Seriously, the dude carries around a 100-pound sword used by Berserkers. Where the hell does he even keep that?!
