“Where am I?” asks the newest ego, standing on unsteady legs. He’d dropped into the void only moments ago.
“We’re in the void,” Dark tells him. He smiles, all teeth and malice. “For now.”
“What am I?” the new ego asks. He stretches, the outlines of his physical form still hazy and blurred. His eyes, or rather, what will eventually solidify into his eyes, search the void for any scrap of reason. He’ll learn soon enough that there is none. Not here.
“You’re whatever you want to be,” Anti laughs. He glitches, ever so slightly, and places a hand on the new ego’s shoulder. It’s not comforting. It’s not meant to be.
“We’ll help you figure it out,” Dark says. His voice reverberates and his aura flexes, filling the infinite space of the void with as much ringing static as it can. The offer of help does not come from a place of compassion.
The thing that will eventually begin to look like Ethan shivers, but grins all the same.
