The Eldest’s knowing laughter had long since died and his voices grew low and grim, a rare moment of sorrow and solemnity falling across His features. Though He desired the power of Becoming for Himself, He couldn’t shake the feelings of wrongness that was associated with it, of violating the Piece further when imagining finally obtaining the Inheritance that should be rightfully His. Even to one as Wrong as He, there are things and actions that are Wronger.

The Eldest’s sorrow is apparent, His many eyes low and His voices surprisingly unified in His sadness. Though He would seek to destroy Existences, He would do so out of respect to His lost Sibling, respect as befits those whose rest has been disturbed and denied.
Despite His continued endeavor of usurpation and destruction, His cause appears to be just.
