They say you should value any relationships you make in the Abyss, Daeva.

Anyway, that's what my Centurion told me when I was first assigned here.

For me the understanding came too late....

A long time ago, I lost a friend here. I thought the pain would subside as time goes by, but I actually feel it more and more.

When I first arrived here, there was no Obelisk. All Guardians coming to the Abyss had to make a pledge regarding Vanishment. We thought it was silly--we even joked about it.

But we soon learned the truth. How arrogant we were then!
