I shouldn't laugh, but I know I'm a failure in your eyes
"Oh, she chose to go behind it. Or rather... she was told." Ronin chews at his lower lip, wondering how best to explain it. "During the first war, they decided that the best way to control the Voice was to trap her behind a barrier in the Hollowed Grounds. But obviously there were a lot of people in the Grounds, so all of the heralds were put behind the barrier as well, to keep an eye on things. And on the Voice. So she was behind there from the beginning."
Things go from deep to deeper still, and the Star's expression grows solemn as Sah explains. Nodding his agreement, he lets out a long sigh. "I'm sorry you had to go through that. It's not easy, especially when you're dropped somewhere new and just expected to deal with it afterwards... I hope things continue to get easier for you." He smiles.
Brightening a touch to remember his time as a star, it's a somewhat bittersweet feeling, and he nods to Sah. "I was, yes. I remember it was like being on this beautiful celestial shoreline. And from the edge of the pier, I could look over the edge and watch everything. I couldn't do anything about it, though, which was difficult."
He ruffles a wet hand through his hair, darkening it further, and lets out a soft laugh as he tries to find the best way to explain it. "It took a very long time for me to even accept the term for myself," he admits of demigods. "From my understanding there are two ways it can happen. A demigod is born of a god, like Seren... or they're elevated up. For me, I think because my original body was..." Ronin makes a gesture that looks a bit like something exploding, "I had to come back with a new one. And having been a star, it was complicated. But... yeah. I think that's how it works."
