[Emptiness? Gray? Ah, so that's what he'd seen. He'd touched Eightfold's memories. 'Memories' that defy the linearity of time and recall events yet to pass, the visions the Rune plagues him with every time he allows his eyes to slip closed, that he'd seen in a thousand dreams... before he'd stopped sleeping altogether. It's interesting that Tinder would see the same vision that haunts all True Rune users at some point, but not especially surprising. If Tinder sees death, then the cessation of all life surely qualifies.]
No. [A simple answer that explains nothing. The world previous to this one still thrives, and the world of Emptiness, where he's from, is far from dead. Stark in landscape, perhaps, but there's still plenty of life there.] What you glimpsed was a vision of 'Dharma'--complete order--created by the Rune. It hasn't happened yet, and I don't intend it to. [It's not something he enjoys thinking about, let alone discussing.]
[ It... It didn't make sense. Why would Tinder see something that hasn't happened yet? He doesn't see like... wishes or aspirations, he just sees memories. How could someone (something) remember something that hasn't happened yet? Something that scares even Yuber...
Tinder feels cold. He shoves his hands back in his coat pockets and buries his face in the scarf. Khepri, and his own fears and nightmares seem like nothing compared to that kind of destruction. The Rune, the demon that's using Yuber... it's terrifying. ]

Did you see the death you desired?

Yeah. I mean... I saw it, so... Thanks.
