Khor shrugged with the casualness of someone discussing weather.
"Who knows? I've been gone for an unknown duration…could be eons, could be epochs. I can't say what's transpired between then and now."
Her expression grew mockingly thoughtful. "Though I can say that before THE Living Paradox collapsed my existence, the Folds were incredibly dangerous for every lifeform."
She paused dramatically.
"Perhaps they all made up after killing enough? Maybe this is now an era of peace and prosperity?" She laughed at her own suggestion. "Haha!"
The sarcasm dripped from every word, her laughter suggesting she had just told the most ridiculous joke in existence.
"But seriously," she continued, her amusement fading, "if things were that chaotic then, they're likely worse now. Chaos tends to compound, not resolve. If I were a regular lifeform in this age I know nothing about, I might just end myself rather than wait for whatever's coming."
She shook her head as if dismissing heavy thoughts.
