Yeah... He's me, but I'm not him, if that makes any sense. I have some of his memories, but he's long dead and gone, and doesn't have any sort of influence over me. Normally when someone dies, their soul is sort of reverted to a blank slate in the sea of souls and scrubbed clean of all that lives memories. But because of how he died, that never really happened to him. His soul was shattered, and lots of people have had pieces over it over thousands of years. I just had a more complete piece.

[He was just one of them, and his piece had been the most... complete at the time. Something more concrete for the power of Bel to latch onto at the time.]

At least, that's how I understand it. I have the whole of it now, but it's kind of... I lost my own soul, but I still have his, but having his soul doesn't really mean anything for me, other than the fact that I can use the power of Bel.

[And as for how he feels about it... Well. Annoyed. Frustrated. Relieved, because what would someone else have done in his shoes? He had made the best decision with the information he had had at the time, and that's enough for him.

It doesn't stop him from wondering about the "what ifs" though.]
