"H-HOW…?!!!"
That one cry carried the agony and grief of countless lives lost across the multiverse.
Every chief… No, every Veilwalker could feel the vacuum left behind by the outrageous loss of lives in their universes, the ache in the cores threatening to cripple them with overwhelming despair.
Many clutched their chest in desperation, as though their cores were housed just behind it. Visions of the beings living in their universes played in their minds like passing memories.
They saw the smiles of the regular people and felt their determination and will to overcome daily struggles.
Children playing around, the parents watching over them, and those who were looking forward to the future; the Veilwalkers saw and felt it all…
But just like that, it was all snuffed out!
The Veilwalkers tried to make sense of what had happened and how it had transpired, but to no avail. They had no premise to make educated guesses.
