You have a cluster of very intrigued Vessels crowding around you, Ahn. They can't speak the normal way, but the voidspeak allow them to ask, can you sing for them?

Yay!! Did... Did Ahn do good?
(song)
Libellule looked up to meet Taka's eyes and saw the exhaustion in them, floating upward a bit to see more easily. "I'm sorry you're sad." They said, drifting closer. "I wish I could help, but even if I knew how to get there, there is Light above, and Light is too scary." Then they gently put their little arms around his neck to give him a hug. Hugs made things better, yes?
Taka’s gaze leveled up with theirs.
“I could use it as a guide at least but I can’t see it. And yes, it’s scary.”
He didn’t expect a hug but he appreciated it. Thinking back, he couldn’t recall any time Silva gave him one. It wasn’t her fault. He always kept the distance.
“Thank you...”
Libellule hesitated a few seconds, but then placed their little palm into Taka's much larger one, letting out a silent giggle at the size difference. He was so big, their own small mitain hand fit so easily in his!! "Can I help? I don't know how to get out of here, but I could do something from the outside? I want to help, or the Void will eat you."
“There are no doors you can create that would lead me out. This is your dream world, far bellow. What I would need is ascend.”
Taka briefly explained while watching their small hand. He didn’t lose the smile but the look in his eyes was that of exhaustion.
"Maybe..." Libellule's form grew a bit blurrier before solidifying again as their sleep fluctuated. They floated closer still, growing bolder as Taka did not seem to want to harm them. They seemed particularly curious about his hands, and hesitantled patted one of his fingers. "Why are you there? You're not one of us, you might get eaten if you stay!"
Taka opened his palm, having his floating hand relaxed so they could fidget with his fingers freely.
“Mmh...”
He squinted and looked around while trying to hide nervousness. He didn’t think beings could legitimately eat him. Although, seeing his own essence more or less escaping his body, he was technically being “eaten” by the place, as if being digested slowly.
“I’m stuck here. I can’t do much right now but I’ll figure something out.”
Libellule tilts their head on the side at first, no understanding what the bug meant, but then it hits them: the orbs were similar to their toy, yes! The one they had found buried at the foot of the Crystal Peak! Hesitantly, they float closer, letting out a little chirp. "I have one like that, at home. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to steal..."
Taka couldn’t help but grow a smile at the vessel getting some courage to approach. He remained relaxed so not to disturb them.
“It wasn’t stealing. Founders keepers, right~?”
Libellule flinches back when the unknown bug reaches for them, carefully retreating a few feet away. They don't understand what he is saying. Vessel with his essence? Lib has no "essence" or anything like that. Is he going to try and hurt them, even here in the void? They don't understand, and their shivering intensifies.
Taka retreated his hand and observed the vessel.
“Ah...” he could read from their expression that they didn’t recognize him, despite the item they held in their possession. He calmly moved his hand and pointed to one of his orbs.
There is a small shade somewhere near Taka: their silhouette is blurry, less precise than the other, because Libellule is dreaming, not dead and they are shivering because this is a BUG and bugs are SCARY but he seems sad so Lib gathers all the courage in their tiny body and gives Taka's leg a gentle pat.
Taka snapped out of just listening and staring blankly. His gaze turned to the shade that looked at him but he sensed fear in them so he remained almost motionless.
Something about the shade was familiar and he remembered.
“Oh... could it be? The vessel with my essence...”
His spirit was lifted a little and one of his hands tried to reach for the vessel.
