All good things eventually came to an end.
The dark miasma that surrounded him for an unknowable amount of time gradually started to disperse and fade.
The golden light of Messier 87 eventually shone on Ves yet again, much to his regret.
He wished he could have immersed himself in the darkness a bit longer. It had been so easy for him to connect a lot of dots and recognize how so many parts of himself already shared an existing relationship with darkness!
Ves had emerged from the darkness as a different person.
He did not feel as if he lost any part of himself. Instead, he had the illusion that he had always been incomplete, and that his embrace of darkness had just managed to fill up a lot of missing parts.
He was still not quite complete, though.
This was because he only managed to identify and resonate with a handful of concepts related to darkness.
