Aamu
"No," he says gently, the trace of a sad smile curving his lips. It's—a bit difficult to explain. Nate's not someone he is close with, but it's just.. his face, the way he moves, the way he just falls down on the stairs like he doesn't even know where he is (—and honestly, he might not). He looks like too much has happened, and after everything Nate's done to help the Grounds, to teach Aamu, everything he did in the dark, Aamu considers him a friend and he's concerned.
The fact that he's not brusquely brushed off and told to mind his own business tells him he might be right.
Aamu carefully lays the swords aside on the steps (a calculated risk, knowing he might be rudely teleported) and sits down next to the other Ascended. Personally he would've chosen to train first, get that extra energy expended, but despite the question levied at him it isn't about him.
"The moon cursed me," he responds carefully, folding his hands in his lap. ".. I think." It could've been any sort of moon-like sprite, but that's besides the point. Still, a small frown lines his forehead and he puts a foot forward to poke his toe into the grass at the bottom of the steps. "What happened to yours?"

Through the streets and the houses of gods you roam
and on their altars you lay your heart of stone
and on their altars you lay your heart of stone
