Just reread everything, because it is good, and I wanted to make sense of what is happening once more.
So, the brother's godsight / soul is imprisoned some where, reliving the history of a single location over a thousand years or so? Still wondering about the sixth finger, so... if this is gonna pull something like a Kaiba on me... don't think I'd be able to handle it without lots of sobbing since it is this author.
... and now I've got to go listen to the song Never.
