...well. [ well. ] ...we did something without knowing what would happen. And that caused the rift to open. They'd been trapped there for years and probably should've stayed trapped.

They usually can't. He took a scientist's deal to gain power. I suppose he was feeling desperate at the time. I don't know the details, but he merged with extremely dangerous beings from an alternate dimension.
Well. People do a lot of stupid things when they feel like they don't have another option, so maybe that isn't so surprising. Can you like...when that happens, can a person unmerge later?
It is possible, but it takes a very specific way of doing it. Most people probably couldn't assist with it... You have to jump into their mind and convince them to come back to themselves.
Which means that even if you were able to connect to them, there's a chance they'd just say no anyway. What happens at that point? What can you even do?
[ funny. something about that makes him pause, and his expression shifts into something a little more...relieved isn't the right word. settled, maybe. ]
