"The simplest answer is often the most correct one." Zexion says, pointing the pen at Vexen without looking up, then going back to scrawling out another long equation. "This place is central to the idea of branch realities. Many cross over here, ones we do not have access to through the dark paths. A world connected without its Door being open. No, maybe not a world, perhaps more like a hallway. Must look into better metaphors."

He himself went along the timeline as close as he could and as far as he could while still avoiding his own death, to the point that Axel still remembers it happening while still being from the same reality. A master of Illusion can make many things seem very real.

"In any regard, we could go over your own memories of your time to see if they match up with the ones I can validate and find out if there are already small deviations that prove the branch reality theory. If you are as real as Nobodies get."
