After the dialogue between the two Iterators, Looks to the moon and Five Pebbles, Saint watches with a blank expression as both of the puppets disappeared, free from the cycle, saint eventually begins to shoot their tongue along the zero gravity to get their small and frail body up into the pipe, leading into to void ocean of Rubicon.
The slugcat swims in the void as they feel a sense of completion, finally free from this torture, they swim up into the warm feeling of the void... Yet a sick sense of curiosity overcomes their mind, as they began to wonder...
"Could they ascend one of the void worms?"
Saint ponders this thought as they continue swimming up into the sea making it to where the void worm resides...
Saint stares at it in a slight feeling of regret and hesitation, their eyes flutter a little as they began questioning if this was a good idea...
Saint eventually let's the intrusive become impulsive, as they activated the ascension and aimed the reticle...
With a loud PING, the void worm swims around in panic, it's body has been hurt, yet it still stays alive, the void worm was angry...
Saint felt as they got abandoned in the void ocean, the whole ocean turns white around them...
Saint saw as their fur turned a black color, they whimpered at the pain of everything around them
A tendril comes out from their back, Saint was becoming an echo, and painfullly.
The Golden scales of each tendril gently sway around as Saint began to cry out in pain, their eyes turning a golden color with their pupils becoming an X shape.
Saint quietly sobs as they stare at their paws extending...
The paws take shape into the two tentacles of an echo, golden scales going all over them as saint stares with trembling hands...
