[ There’s a pause that’s clearly consideration with the muted feeling that comes through, but Aetós seems to decide that it’s fine to elaborate. ]
When a Shard comes into my care, I expose it to the Timestream directly to see what can be observed. It is a way to direct the Timestream. Consider a Shard a lens with which it is focused. I can witness pieces of the Shard’s past as well as the potential future it was taken from. Multiples of both. I can also see connections in those memories. If one of the souls has been touched by the Timestream before, it is visible. So, a constant in many of Vander’s memories was two girls with that connection. But one was stronger than the other. It is why I noted it. They called her Powder. It is as simple as that.
[ A thoughtful noise, and then they add: ]
It is worth noting that the names in that list share nothing in common for my interests in them. That list was truly just notes. I always carry such a journal with me.
