[There's still an uncertain feeling in his chest, but Rin seems to understand. Add isn't an innocent person, and he's dangerous. As long as Rin understands that... he can hope everything will be okay.

He can no longer feel that spark of determination, the unyielding desire to pursue his goals no matter what the cost, but with his memory starting to return he can look back and analyze his own actions. There are certain things he knows are important to him. Even if he feels nothing now, he knows what it felt like before. His reason for going to the core is one of those certainties.

Add straightens his posture again, collecting himself. It's easier to talk about something so personal when he embraces the hollowness inside him.]

Sometimes, outsiders like us disappear from this world. Some people who are important to me were among them. About three months ago, I performed an experiment to acquire a set of coordinates to find out where those people go. That was where the portal was supposed to lead to.

It's likely such a portal would be able to send gods back to their original worlds as well, but my priority has always been to find those people first.

[There are important people to him back in Elrios as well, but he's sure they'll do fine without him for awhile. Finding Roxas and Jakob come first.]
