Chapter 22 Memory Fragment 3 (1/2)

The third part of the memory was something that I could actually view this time. While the first two memories existed in darkness, there was some light visible in the third memory in the form of different coloured lights.

These lights didn't have any defined shape and constantly flickered while moving in circular motions around a spot. However, they never crossed the paths of the other lights. They hovered around a space that they can't seem to come close to and I figured that dark space should be where my past self was.

**Author's Note: From here it gets confusing so I'll write it chatroom style.**

Red light: ”I say we kill them. It's not worth the effort.”

Blue light: ”No, that's a waste. If we use resources to create them, we still need to use resources to end them. I don't like that.”

Yellow light: ”I don't know why you're so worked up over this. They don't exist yet so let's just do our best to ensure nothing of that sort happens. Even if it does, I'm sure we'll find a way around it.”

Green light: ”You're too carefree! This is why you never get anything done. I say everything needs to be controlled by us. Don't give them free will or power. After all, what we need is a vassal to do what we desire, not think for us.”

Purple light: ”That defeats the purpose. Those vassals are meant to help us understand more about ourselves. The only reason why we became separated was because of our different perception.”

White light: ”I understand everyone's point of view. However, we are forgetting that it is not our place to make a decision. We're merely providing our insights. Ultimately, the decision lies with our original.”

**Author's Note: Complications end here. Please look forward to bonus chapter / misc. chapter coming soon for character profile.**

It was confusing at first but from the short conversation, I understood. Each light had a different personality. How my past self came up with this brilliant idea was beyond me. It's unclear what the white light meant but I'm guessing my past self found a way to split the consciousness into many parts with varying levels of intelligence.

From the conversation, yellow and red didn't sound very smart. Blue sounded very lazy and green was too aggressive. White and purple are more neutral and balanced, I found myself more comfortable with them.
