With barely a glance to the words upon the sign, Hikaru continued on passed the gate. The longer she stayed in this place, the more she got the feeling that she had to get out somehow. While she had dealt with her fair share of contradictions and anomalies, glitches in existence as they were... none, even the dealings with the ingrounded, had ever felt as off as everything did now.

Echoes of the past in a world that seemed so dead one had to wonder why it was still standing. With every force of existence down to the very astral that made up the building blocks of the spirit, unreachable by will or manipulation. Yet, somehow a spirit or spirits could still exist here... How? Just what was this place?! Was she to believe that man in that it was just the remnants of the East of the Perfect? ...or was it more?

He had spoken of it as if it were some sort of punishment given how he had said exile and asked her what she had done to end up here. Yet, he had also mentioned that Insanity was apparently the reason he was there himself. So did that make it a punishment for what the Perfect did? But then how? Just what had been done to the Perfect and the East to apparently tear them from reality itself as it appeared? ...and how would Insanity have the power to do so?

To be void of forces, untouched by material existence, and in a state of perpetual contradiction, one would have to have the power to manipulate the entirety of existence itself, and even that may not be enough for such a feat. But if the Perfect were above the Embodiments then how could he--- wait ... hadn't Leirra said Insanity used the scrolls for some sort of mistake?

"So I see..." Hikaru muttered to herself aloud, the realization finally having dawned on her.  But even knowing that still didn't answer her most pressing question. Why was she here? Why did any of this involve her? Was this another damn 'lesson' of his after all? Or was it more? Given that this had happened right after Leirra had revealed to her, her own damned connection to Crea, Hikaru couldn't help but wonder if that were the reason. If this is what happened to the Perfect. Maybe existence needed to finish the job, and obtain their reincarnations as well. But if that were the case, Leirra should have been here as well. Every possible answer had to many doubts. So then... Why was she there?!
