[MEMORY # 46 (SIGNIFICANT NEGATIVE)]
* Chaos and self-doubt. "I can't turn back now."
Won from Game 108: A balance of choices for Three of Three.
Headcanon again! Mithos is fifteen in this memory.
This is the time period directly after Mithos shattered the world and used Kratos's life to seal Origin away, as a response to his sister's murder. They withdrew somewhere quiet -- though there weren't many quiet places, because the people of the two new worlds (Sylvarant and Tethea'lla) were FLIPPING THE FUCK OUT over half of everything suddenly being straight-up gone and trying not to have their respective countries just fall into total collapse. They probably did for a while, but that is not the focus of this memory.
Mithos probably just prowled around a lot while Kratos was passed out recovering, and planned, and brooded. He could see the damage he'd just done and while he couldn't clearly envision all the horror it would lead to, he knew he was aware this was a staggeringly terrible thing. He was incredibly unsure of himself and afraid and regretful! But at the same time coming up with the seeds of plans for further travesties; systems he could utilize to get Martel back. Cruxis, the Desians, human ranches and the Church of Martel were not specifics in his thoughts in the memory, but bits and pieces of their conception can be identified here.
This is, incidentally, the period in which he could have been convinced to undo the damage to the world, if there were anyone left who could try and convince him. It's also a memory in his 'mad with grief' stage but still pretty far from his 'casually cruel' stage, which took a really long time to develop.
Unfortunately there was no one to snap him out of it, and he finally just bulled on and proceeded and made a resolution that he would do whatever it took to get Martel back, no matter how terrible. After all, he'd already committed one huge and unforgiveable act -- what more did he have to lose?
+ . . . :/.
+ Probably headache and especially short temper for a while after.
