[Kor had originally assumed that the Carbuncle he was traveling with was some representation of Merisia's inner self, there to guide him to the Echo he was supposed to "destroy". But maybe that wasn't the case... ...No, of course that wasn't the case, now that he thinks about it. If anything, this thing in front of him's way more Merisia than Topaz is. Her fears, her doubts, her hesitations... All given form in this beast right here....
This behemoth is Merisia's inner self, or at least one facet of it. That much, Kor is relatively sure of.]
Why are you so afraid of it?
[Even in the dark, Kor refuses to back down or hesitate. He takes another step forward, maintaining his calm again.]
I know the Echo's made things hard for you, Merisia. You had a rough life just because you had this power you didn't ask for. And... It even cost you the lives of people you care about.
[There's a pause from Kor.]
...But I want that to change. I think you can find a way to do good things with the Echo. I'll even help you do it if I have to! I... won't let it hurt you, ever again.
