[ The temptation to let out a sigh of relief is there, but Merisia resists. Just because Kor is listening doesn't mean this will end well. ]
I wish I knew. All I've got are theories so far.
[ Kor is right, though. Merisia hasn't quite explained everything, and these details are something Merisia isn't looking forward to. Rather than explain everything at once, she decides to take this one step at a time...her own emotional balance permitting. Staying calm is difficult when she's so on edge. ]
You remember when you were telling me about why you were never allowed to leave home? How I knew Creed's name, even though you never told me? [ Merisia pauses for a moment to let that sink in. She clearly remembers the look on his face when he asked her how she knew about Creed. It was almost haunting, and made her all the more reluctant to explain herself. But that silence has to end now. ] I never heard the explanation you told me. I had a vision right then, of a woman with green hair explaining something about and xeroms and Gardenia. I watched her explain how that thing had doomed her world...and I watched you ask her why Creed had been sealed away inside of you. I know his name because I heard it from you and the others that were with you.
[ Seeing Kor in the state he was in back then was painful in a way she still can't quite describe, let alone the rest of the awful imagery she'd been graced with. Her present worries aren't doing her any favors, either, but she continues. ]
It was like I was there, Kor. That's how these visions always are. And that's only one thing that the Echo makes me suffer through.
