Uh... Yeah, A Lot Has Changed During Your Absence

From nothingness came everything in existence, and everything in existence would eventually return to nothingness – such was the perpetual cycle of life and death of chaosverses. That was, until Chaos was created, enabling infinite growth of existence – an everlasting Chaos.

Vaan couldn't even begin to imagine how powerful a person had to be to create Chaos. It was, without a doubt, an incredibly impressive feat far out of his reach and many others—if not everyone's reach as well.

Nevertheless, he felt like he could partly understand the sheer will of desperation the person had before Chaos was created.

Vaan had a feeling understanding nothingness was the first step toward realizing the same power that created Chaos.
