That is how I and one other present in this city exist. It is rather complicated, but were there not a need, we would not exist.

As to what has happened, I fear that I cannot truly speak on such a matter. Occurrences such as what had transpired are the way of my world, both when I lived and even in what is for me the distant future. But I can say this much: such people are what make up the Spirits of Heroes.
