The silver-haired girl turned now to her new guest. The void wasn't a place where one navigated easily but this one was a unique case. He didn't look quite natural but he wasn't hostile.

"Yeah, I get you might have many questions but It would help if I knew where you were going? I can take you just about anywhere. I've been here long enough to know things."

The knight looked like he was thinking for a moment. She did explain most of how the void worked but he wasn't exactly being vocal about it.

Naturally, sometimes you end up here when traveling. Though it will be a bit on the sad side. It's been a long time since I've had some company here.

"Milady, I understand how you explained how I got here but I am curious. If you know how to leave, why don't you make your escape?"

The connector took a slight step back. Though her reaction is subtle. It was just a long time since a visitor asked her something like that.

"Yeah, that's the thing. I can't leave. Don't have the power to. It's a long story. Just always thought no one would remember me long enough for me to tell it." She looked almost unaffected by saying all that or maybe it was just acceptance.

The knight just went quiet and sat down. "Telling me might not lessen thy burdens but if retelling this tale could find a solution to your predicament then I am willing to listen."

He is a strange one. Do I even have enough of myself to tell it?

She sighed and brought up a window. It was what most void denizens used to see the timelines and worlds beyond. "Players are those who can influence timelines just from their world. I would know since I first came from the world as a player."

The next few windows brought up a window that showed a young man in a blue striped hoodie. He seemed coky with some earbuds in.

"A few Gasters thought of a solution to save timelines from genocides. They take players and set in these genocide timelines to turn them around. Determination against determination. The first one was this guy, Cter the hacker." She turned to see if the knight was still listening but he was there so she continued.

"I was also one of them but I'm a bit different." She pulled to show her soul. It was a dull purple color of perseverance.

The mistake of the century. Why am I even trying to tell this story? I'm the connector now, nothing more.

"I'm still listening, milady. You don't need to be nervous." Her gaze shot up as her mysterious guest was still there.

She gave almost a sad smile and brings up a window. A timeline that only she can access the recodes for. "Well, then time to see what no longer exists."
