"We all thought this place was the Archive."
"It isn't."
Another Kai shrugged.
"It's..."
"...something else."
"A relay."
"No."
"A recorder."
"A storage room."
"A waiting room."
"You're all idiots."
Nobody looked convinced.
Finally—
One Kai scratched his head.
"...Truth is."
"We don't know."
Current Kai looked around.
"...Then what is this?"
Traveler Kai looked toward the glowing orb floating nearby.
"We all found that."
"It called us."
Current Kai frowned.
"...Called?"
Eyepatch Kai nodded.
"I ignored the feeling."
"For years."
Scar Kai added,
"I buried it beneath work."
Royal Kai chuckled.
"I was too busy running a kingdom."
Cult Kai spoke next.
"I thought it was a trap."
Traveler Kai smiled.
"It didn't matter."
Every Kai spoke together.
"You always come."
Silence followed.
Current Kai slowly looked toward the orb.
"...So everyone..."
"...eventually reaches this place?"
The Kais nodded.
One after another.
Royal Kai spoke.
"I found it long after becoming king."
Cult Kai folded his arms.
"I found it after joining the cult."
Scar Kai quietly added,
"I found it after losing everything."
Eyepatch Kai laughed.
"I got lost three times."
