I had just died, great! Well, dying kinda sucks but I don't mind. I have been in the hospital for a loooong time. Like, all 18 years I was around for. My parents, who died when I was young, were rich, so I just lived in a private hospital. I spent my time gaming, reading, and watching TV. I don't know what disease I had, I asked them not to tell me, I just knew that it made me unable to sleep properly. This made it hard for my body to recover, so I slowly whittled away until now. You may be wondering how I can think in death, and I can only tell you... THE HONKAI!!! THE HONKAI IS REAL!!! Take that all you non-believers. Well, now where was I...
So currently I am drifting around in the Sea of Quanta somehow not being destroyed? Well, I am drifting towards something, the Imaginary Tree. My thoughts are being written in this small journal I have (I don't have hands nor a body, I somehow know) Anyways, it seems now that I am on the border my thoughts are drifting away...

Well, I seem to be back. I am currently looking at something red.
"Hello there, are you the one they called Maguma?"
I recognize that voice and realize something as I see what the object is.
"Yes, that's what my friends call me. You must be Aha, the Elation?"
I hear the second mask giggle.
"Of course! I am reincarnating you as a form of entertainment, care to humor me?"
I smile in a sense, without a body there is no manifestation of it though.
"Definitely! Before you do your Aeon thing, where will you send me?"
The masks seem to think for a moment.
"You will replace the one called Caelus!"
I nod (once again in a spiritual? way) as I feel my mind fade to darkness again.

I wake up again, and I see Kafka and Silver Wolf. I decide to go with my gut when I speak.
"Ka-fka? Silver Wolf?"
My voice is weaker than the trailblazers. I see a look of surprise on Silver Wolf's face.
"Kafka, he shouldn't remember me..." Silver Wolf has a sad tone, something unlike her in-game personality.
Kafka simply smirks before responding, "He was always a step ahead."
Kafka turns to me. "Listen, you are in a da-"
I cut her off "Just go, I am too exhausted for a speech..." I fade out, cutting the encounter short.

I wake up and get to watch the CPR scene unfold in front of me.
"Wait - Stop it!", I hear March cry out, "They're awake!"
Dan Heng starts questioning me, "Are you all right? Can you hear me? What's your name?"
I look at him confused, ready to play my part. "I-I'm Maguma, I am a..." I make sure to look shocked, "I can't remember..."
They both look at me with pity.
"Well, we have to get you back to the master control zone before the Antimatter Legion gets you!" March seems optimistic.
I respond quickly, making sure to play the role of an amnesiac. "Antimatter Legion?"
"The army of Nanook, the Destruction." Dan Heng chimes in, I honestly think he has the database engrained in his brain. "You two head back, I'm finding Arlan."
"You do that! I'll make sure Maguma over her gets back safe and sound~" March winks cutely at me after he declaration.
