On the E.G.O. of Others
There's still a lot to learn about my sinners.
I decided to take the time to ask as many questions as I could with Faust, who seemed more than eager to share her knowledge on the matter.
We know that E.G.O. is a manifestation of one's emotions, or something like that.
Which opens up a lot of opportunities for those who have their own.

(Remind me again. When did they start appearing? There was a specific period for that, wasn't there?)
Faust nodded with a smile.

The manifestation of the Distortion, alongside E.G.O. occurred after the White Nights and Dark Days.
Right. I don't exactly know what that entails either, but I'll probably remember along the way.

Reportedly, a beam of light was seen by everyone within the City.

As we know now, the origin of this was the main branch of the fallen L Corp.

I suppose, to put it simply, this is where our line of work truly began.
Dante
Executive Manager
(That does make sense.)

(It's hard to think of how much one can do with their own E.G.O, I mean...Meursault managed to use his to hold that Erlking back.)

Indeed. Our understanding of E.G.O. and its individual capabilities is admittedly quite limited.

What else do you wish to know, Dante?
I paused. There was a lingering question in my mind that I'm not sure if I should ask...
Dante
Executive Manager
(Have you ever noticed the symbols on the arm of Gregor's E.G.O?)
When the question came out, Faust turned her head towards me.
She stared for a few...awkward seconds...before turning back with a sigh.
Faust
Sinner #2
Faust is aware of them.

But if your question is regarding their significance, then I'm afraid Faust lacks a true answer.
Dante
Executive Manager
(Wait, so...you don't know either?)
What?
That didn't seem possible to me.
Faust being unable to answer the meaning of those symbols...I thought it was just information that she was keeping from me on purpose.
Faust
Sinner #2
Faust speculates three possibilities on their meanings.
Faust
Sinner #2
However, it seems all three have grim origins. So Faust must keep this from you in the meantime.
She knows as much as I do. Three theories that all sounded horrible...what good is it to tell me there are three at all?
I bowed my head, trying to think of what to say.
Gregor's arm had changed, once upon a time, and knowing those symbols on his E.G.O. were the same ones I saw in the Saplings of Light...
Dante
Executive Manager
(It's not looking good for all of us, Faust.)

Understandably so.
They're going to be relevant someday, I know it.
I dread the moment we find out why.
