If we're due a chat anyhow, I'm happy to let you see it. I assume this is also a personal curiosity of yours and not simply because you want to help me out of the kindness of your heart?
[ In truth, his false memories tell him that Cid is both a skilled engineer and a person who looks out for others. The question now is if he is actually both of those things in reality. It's hard to know just how much license the Singularity took with their personhoods. ]
Believe me, I know that tact is not exactly Himeka's strong point. [ What did she do. For a moment he wonders if he should correct Cid about Himeka being her sister, but... isn't she, in all the ways that matter? It's fine.
Except then Cid gets into it, and... ah. She came right out with it, did she? ]
Ever since my first chat with Jill, I suspected that Valisthea might be a shard broken off from our world. However, I wasn't convinced it was the right time to reveal that theory to all of you.
[ Read: he does have tact. ]
Nothing for it, I suppose. Now you know, though I will say that detail doesn't affect much about our situations in the here and now. And yes, there do appear to be some notable differences between primals and eikons, even if their names and appearances are quite similar. They occupy slightly different roles.
