Maybe. You might be able to do some research on your own here and see if there's anything familiar or similar. Have you spoken about this to many people here?
I see. [ a pause. ] Thank you for trusting me with that knowledge then. I hope that maybe you'll find others you feel comfortable telling, too. They might know of something similar where they're from and have an idea.
I believe so, yes. I'm sure if you asked God to let you forget, they could make that happen, but I feel like not remembering would negate the whole point of learning to redeem yourself.
So a lot of giant bugs came to destroy your home. [ zuriel. ] But... why? What did they want with your planet that they deliberately came to attack you?

Have you ever heard of Entropy Loss Syndrome?

[A slow, pained sigh.]
I'll slowly fade away. This process is barely noticeable to others... Almost imperceptible.
For now I can still do everything normally, talk, run, jump. Everything seems normal, but then you start doing things slower than others.
Then... even slower. Until the lines between your body and the world become blurry, the boundaries between them shatter.

Like becoming a ghost. It's genetic, you said? How long has this been a thing for your people? Is there nothing to do to stop it?
no subject
When I was alive, I was searching for a cure. I haven't found it yet, but I'm hopeful that someday I will.

Is that the main reason you'd like to get back to your world? To continue that research.

The Swarm is made up of giant insects. They're the remnants of the Aeon of Propagation. The... blessings it confers is near limitless replication.
That's what attacked my planet years ago. They fought back, making weapons to combat the threat. In the end their weapons outlasted the civilization.

no subject
I don't think they wanted anything. The Swarm was like... a natural disaster? They attacked whatever they came across.
no subject
What... happened to the people of your planet? How many were left?
