Yes… Though I wasn’t exactly human before I came here. I only looked like a human and thought I was one.
[Unfortunately, once Ryoji continues his story, there are more questions than answers.]
I lived peacefully for a month, but one night, I entered a trance and woke up outside on the same bridge where the accident took place. The Anti-Shadow Weapon-Aigis-found me, and she tried to finish the job she had taken on ten years before… but once I started to remember what I was, I was too powerful for her, and I left her severely damaged… when her friends found me, I told them what had happened… and what my existence meant.
[He looks down at the ground, afraid to make eye contact.]
My presence on Earth was summoning Nyx towards us. When she arrived, she would hear the pleas of so many people… the desire to give up, start over, stop suffering and find peace. Upon hearing that, she would bring about the Fall, and all of humanity would perish. There wasn’t any way to stop it. I offered my life to them… if they killed me, they could prevent the Fall for a few months, and live in peace with their memories of Shadows gone… but that was all I could do. I couldn’t stop it. And… I couldn’t influence their decision.
In the end, they decided to let me live. I told them where they could find Nyx before getting absorbed by the darkness. Nyx found me and used me as her vessel when the day of the Fall arrived. I was instructed to bring about the end, but… they found me and tried to stop me. They couldn’t defeat Nyx, but Minato decided he could seal us away from the desires that had called us there… he sacrificed his life to accomplish this.
