"Oh. Really?" He's digesting all this. If nothing else, he's a good listener.
"Is free will not that common?" He seems a little..not disturbed, but almost startled, as if the thought had never occurred to him.
That next question, though...his eyes scrunch up. "I met some, I think...but that was a long time ago. The memories are really far away. My siblings were still asleep when stuff, um...happened." He's squinting into the darkness, half because he's trying to see further ahead, and half because he's trying very hard to remember.
It hurts his head if he thinks back too much.
"We were mostly...still being worked on then. But we were kept quiet cause they didn't want to attract any attention from up there...I remember that much." Creation is an act of God, but we can't be God, they had said like a mantra, a prayer, a blessing over their sleeping forms. Vivi had never quite understood it.
