"Cole wanted another life, where he wasn't a mage."

And Compassion had become Cole. Maybe because of that. Maybe because of another reason, of the fleeing soul confusing the spirit, the spirit simply trying too hard to understand and help.

"I forgot who I was. I thought I was Cole. Now I know I'm not. But I have his memories. There was- Rhys. He helped me. Helped me to become Compassion again, even though he didn't know he was doing it."
