Elliot reached out toward Bridgette as well, gritting his teeth in pain. He felt as if his mind was being ripped into pieces as dozens of random intrusive thoughts without context flashed across his mind. "Who... am... I?!"
Azura's singing began to fill the temple in stark contrast to the panic going on around her. Elliot latched on to the sound, grounding himself in the here and now. Etro's power was frightening, but Azura's voice was soothing. It even seemed to affect Etro, who began to project thoughts of awe and calm.
Perhaps this was why the Demiurge had chosen Azura in the first place.
After a moment, Etro stopped exhibiting her power. As everyone's thoughts began to settle, Elliot collapsed into the arms of his mother and friend. Etro seemed to shiver on her throne.
Never did I expect to be drawn to a higher purpose.

"I..." The boy waved his hand, causing a wind to pick up around him, pushing the group away from him. "I need to--"
Makoto took Kyoko's hand, taking a valiant step forward, despite every inch of him telling him otherwise. "They're right!" Makoto yelled, referring to Wanda, Blake and Gentaro. "I witnessed the multiverse's end! And yet... here we are! For one moment... for one small moment, I lost all hope... but now I see I couldn't have! Billy... and all of us, we are never going away! Never backing down!"
The wind suddenly slowed and the boy seemed confused. "I was told that I was... to feed on malevolence."
"And you will as the new Great Spirit of Eternity," the Demiurge said. "You were created to be a Great Spirit, but to function as Heart would mean the end of humanity. Your powers are better served as Eternity. The multiverse requires it."
The emotional manipulation began to swell. "I don't understand how you all resisted," said Innominat.
"Because we are the multiverse's last line of defense," Makoto declared. He looked around at everyone. "I'm in awe of it as much as you are. We'll keep hope alive."
