i think i’m really interested in the exact time the older avatars were born, because it feels like it explains a lot about them. how simon fairchild was born into a world just beginning to comprehend its place in the universe, and he decided to embrace it. how maxwell rayner was born into a world just beginning to create its own light, and he decided to escape it. how jonah magnus was born into a dying world, and he wanted so badly to live.
