When an old friend sought to pull me to Ardbert's world to save it you could say he... missed. A few times. He stole Thancred's soul away first. Then Y'shtola and Urianger. Then Alphinaud... Then Alisaie.
None of us knew what was happening. It was frightening. When I reunited with the twins upon the First I nearly cried with relief. I had promised not to always be there for her, and then shortly after she was taken away from me too. Right on the frontlines of war, she collapsed.
Needless to say, when I finally found my way to Ardbert's world I chewed G'raha out for his poor timings. Apparently Alisaie had done the same. That she didn't blacken his eye was more a shock to hear than waking up in a foreign world.
G'raha's original plan to return their souls home did not succeed, so once the First was saved it was a race against time to return them to the Source. There is only so long the body can survive without a soul.
I am the only one who can traverse between the two worlds in both body and soul on a whim. Thus it fell unto me to carry them home. G'raha, Urianger, and Beq Lugg worked on creating special crystals — auracite, similar to my pendant — that would contain both soul and memory. I could only carry what was in my possession safely across the rift. Anything else was too risky.
I was so frightened I would lose them. Even at home, with the tight grip I hold over my emotions.
Thancred, Y'shtola, Urianger. Alphinaud and Alisaie. To lose even just one more would have been too much. I was faced with the reality that I could lose them all. When I checked in on their bodies near the end they were stiff and cold. Skin waxy as a corpse. It hurt to see them like that. The twins, especially. My little siblings. Not much younger than Noct is now, but they're elezen and so've yet to hit puberty. They're my height right now. Soon enough they'll grow near tall as Ardyn. I want to keep watching them grow.
He was happy with a majority of what I told him, yes.

The parenthesis indicate a smile so intense it radiates outward, like sunlight.
Speaking of which... It was you with whom I discussed my name, was it not?
