He does as instructed.

Zei is still feeling kind of boneless after that but also very affectionate.

So Azym won't push for more exposition for now. They can just spend a while kissing and snuggling.

Which he could also get used to.

...so long as Zei doesn't fall in love with him. That would not work.

He has no comment on Azym's narration.

Yeah, yeah. He kisses the top of Zei's head and says, "So, do we still have time for exposition?"

"...right. That." Aaaand his mood is going down again.

"Sorry. Uh, we don't have to, if you don't want to, it's just..."

"No, no, let's. Let me get this out of the way. Back at the village we were talking about... fayth, yeah?"

"Yeah. You were talking about the Final Aeon, then I... got... distracted."

"...right. Okay."

"I think I'm fine now. Or, well, not fine, but I'm not about to be overcome with grief for all of the people I've lost et cetera."

"You'll get used to it."

"...so fucking reassuring."

"Yeah. Sorry."

"Just, just tell me the thing you need to tell me."

"...right. This is probably heretical, the only people I've discussed it with were Lulu and Kimahri."

"Oh, fun, heretical secrets are my favourite kind of secret."

"I think Auron is Sin."

"Yeah, me too."

"—alright!"

"I don't know how or why. And it... sounded like you had a theory?"

"I do, yeah. We were talking about how the conviction to kill Sin and the emotional bond between fayth powers each aeon, and how the Final Aeon differs for each High Summoner—"

"Oh motherfucker summoners have to turn one of their guardians into fayth."
