Prelude [5]

"Huu…"

'So you guys won't listen until the end.'

To say that he didn't make any progress was wrong, but it was true that it was currently impossible for Damien to merge his concepts.

He was forced to accept it. There was nothing he could do to change that fact.

'At least they aren't just silently resisting anymore.'

The two concepts refused to tell him why they wanted to stay apart. No matter how much contemplation he did, he couldn't find a proper reason for them to refuse other than their desire to maintain independence.

Did they think they'd be suppressed when the Void appeared? That was clearly a misrepresentation of how his power worked. Just because they combined didn't mean they wouldn't retain their individual states. 

Rather, the product of their merger would be separate. It would be a step above them and would not interact with them directly.
