What do you think did it?

[unkindled_madness]

I don't know.

...I worry what he might have discovered.

[dothelokimotion]

. . . Terrible truths have a way of worming into us. Whether we want them to or not.

[unkindled_madness]

I know.

And he would not have had- ...anyone to ground him.

[dothelokimotion]

. . . No. It didn't seem like he had anyone at all.

[unkindled_madness]

No. I wasn't close with anyone in my world.

[dothelokimotion]

Perhaps that's why he seemed so fixated.

[unkindled_madness]

...on his mother?

[dothelokimotion]

Yes. Perhaps he was chasing that, but he had no name for it. And made it a consuming need.

[unkindled_madness]

...perhaps.

[Seeking closeness with someone he frankly knows nothing about. Someone, or something.]

[dothelokimotion]

It's hard to say. I'm only guessing.

[ and overstepping. he bites on his lower lip. ]

[unkindled_madness]

If he really was me...

It's a fair guess.

[dothelokimotion]

Perhaps.

[ loki also saw some things but . . . he'll keep that to himself for now. he doesn't want to make things worse.

he just makes things worse. ]

[unkindled_madness]

[He studies Loki uncertainly.]

...it must have been disorienting, to encounter him.

[dothelokimotion]

I suppose. You were very different.

[unkindled_madness]

Mm. I don't typically stab people on such little provocation.

[dothelokimotion]

It's fine. As I said, the stabbing didn't bother me much.

[unkindled_madness]

Something did.

[dothelokimotion]

I beg your pardon?

[unkindled_madness]

Something about the encounter bothers you.

I may not be perceptive enough to know what, but I know that much.

[dothelokimotion]

[ loki purses his lips. ]

I simply don't take kindly to failing, that's all. I thought I could have fixed things. I didn't.

[unkindled_madness]

...you're upset that you couldn't switch us back?

[dothelokimotion]

[ he bristles. ]

Shouldn't I be?

[unkindled_madness]

[Sephiroth tries to think about that.]

I imagine it was frustrating.

But it isn't as though it was a magic you were familiar with.

[dothelokimotion]

Yes. I already said it was a failure. I couldn't do anything.
