[ He Xuan tilts his head, and then looks back out at the sea. He's not the type of person to shout to the heavens something like, "but you're real!" Or unload some kind of inspiring speech. He's incapable of putting smiles on people's faces...most of them, or otherwise. ]
...I don't disbelieve your origins.
[ There are things about Ellis he still does not know. So how can he still, right now say that the one he sees in front of him is 'real'? It's a factual answer indeed, but he thinks the one given is also a belief despite manifesting into this world.
He then turns back away from the sea, and kneels down in the sand. Next, he's drawing a circle with a dot, and then a curly line through it. Then, he stands up and stomps on it, dragging his foot down in the sand, disrupting the symbol. ]
In my world, gods fade away as if they never existed, should they lose followers. If they die as mortals, it is the same as if they have never existed. Someone new comes to replace them.
It's the same for demons and ghosts. Even beings who exist because someone believed they did, who may as well have created them by a single thought. Some leaders too. Their places are taken when they pass, as if the predecessors never existed. Yet, someone remembers that they were real. That they existed.
So, regardless of what you are, because we met, I'll remember the same of you.
[ That he existed as a real person. Even if originally, that is not what Ellis is.
He Xuan inclines his head slightly as if to say 'until next time', and then begins to turn to leave because he doesn't know what else to say, absolutely prepared to leave on that note. ]
