[Another smile dances on Primo's lips, almost apologetically, clearly sad, but void of regrets. He takes a sip from his drink, setting the glass down and looking at it for a moment. It's almost a familiar memory, sitting at the bar with someone he trusted and staring at the glass in search of the words to start speaking with.]
... Whatever I tell you here... Can I trust that you will listen to it all until the end?
[He said it once before to Adell, long ago when both were still in Luceti. When Takano appeared, before he knew anything about his future, about the possible future that awaited him. He repeats it almost with amusement.]
When Keiichi left Luceti he was returned to his world, his memories of Luceti gone, free to continue his life normally. For three days at least. On the third day, Takano, who had been put under custody and observation, escaped and killed Rika. The shock of what happened despite having won against fate, despite having showed mercy to her, caused a breakout of the syndrome in Keiichi and the others. The rest of the village followed soon after. It was truly a bloodbath.
[He pauses briefly. He talks about it as if it happened to someone else, as if it happened centuries of years ago. The tone of someone who knows that what happened was bad but that there's no way around it. Nothing can change the past.]
Before they truly lost their minds though, Oyashiro-sama came to them and told them the secret of their world. How she had been sending everyone's souls to parallel worlds in hopes of finding a world where Rika didn't end dead. She required the power of their faith in their capacity to overthrow that destiny to bring forth one last world, one last chance for them all. When they did that, though, the power brought up Keiichi's memories of Luceti as well with all the memories of the worlds he had been in. And he became me, an entity that exists at the edge of reality, beyond the human realm. A wizard who has demons called furniture as his servants and has an eternal existence outside of all the worlds.
I'm technically more Keiichi than any of the ones you could find in the human realm. However that's a name I gave up back then, hundreds of years ago, changing it for the name of Primo instead. The Wizard of Fate.
