"There is always a choice."

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?"

"I think they are stuck here like we were. Umbvagher is one of them and he chose to show us it, I think it's from personal experience." He was once a Summoned like them, became a god, and now is stuck there after thousands of years that pass. It makes the most sense, and explains why a god was displaying knowledge of other world's language.

"Lucifer explained to me that he was using symbols called emojis that are from his world, and some others said the same. He was communicating in a way that only made sense if he was from a different sphere once." That is what Istredd took as proof that the theory was correct, and then the vision happened and it seemed like it was the answers they were seeking. The problem being that now the only answers are ones they don't necessarily want to hear.

"I wonder if he showed us that to explain where we are headed ... but perhaps also as a chance to stop it from happening." It's hard to know the temperament of a god that seemed to play games. Istredd feels like knowing their future so early, centuries away from them now, gives an opportunity.

"The Singularity ... I wish I knew. No one is more disappointed than me that I've studied it for years with no clear answers as to its abilities." Istredd has been doing his level best, but it won't talk to him. "I wonder if we have become symbiotic, it gives us power but perhaps we give it back too."
