One of the most dangerous things Azriel could ever face was someone capable of reading his mind—his memories. Azriel possessed countless secrets, truths that could get him killed, that could kill, and that inevitably would lead to death. Such insights revealed everything—his strengths, weaknesses, fears… everything.
But sometimes, far worse than exposing his vulnerabilities, mind-reading revealed the bitter truth of the scenarios themselves.
Azriel didn't fully understand what these scenarios were. Certainly, he didn't know everything—he hardly knew anything at all. Yet he was confident he knew more than most. But what about this Divine Spirit before him? Pollux undoubtedly surpassed Azriel when it came to knowledge. He was a Starblood, after all—a creature that once stood closest to the gods. Even without reading Azriel's memories, Pollux likely had known from the start that this was merely a scenario—that this world had already fallen.
Did Azriel care, though?
