This, she must believe in. Even if there is nothing else. In the dreamed-up future they'd 'lived,' suspended for weeks in the Singularity's crater, she had been herself in some ways Destiny. But she had also done her best to cling to her humanity, to her own freedom, and allow it for others. She'd opened doors -- but rarely made anyone step through outside their own volition.
And this is exactly the path she'd chosen in that dream too. The very reason she'd fought for decades, centuries to break free from the Singularity, to allow them all the option of leaving if they wanted to, alongside Viktor.
In this moment, she can see that future unfolding. She can see herself making similar mistakes.
Ciri closes her eyes a few moments longer than a blink.
"If any of the former Summoned turned 'new gods' have any shred of their humanity left, I wonder what they would choose. Are they stuck here like the rest of us? Like we were in that dream? Where does the Singularity's will come from? It has one, for all that it's a big fucking rock. What need has it of us?"
