Lightning Is the Only Way

Gravis talked some more with his father, but in the end, he decided not to meet any of his siblings.

Gravis wasn't very thrilled at meeting his Star God sister or Ancestral God brother since he felt like they didn't have much in common with him.

However, Gravis felt a certain connection with his sister, Zero's Essence. She was going through something that Gravis knew very well, but her life had also gone very differently.

Yet, all of this was irrelevant. His sister might be interested in exchanging some words with Gravis, but Gravis knew that she wouldn't really form any relationship with him due to how she had lived her life.

It was even possible that she was incapable of having any companions at this point.

In a way, she was similar to Joyce, but she was dealing with that aspect of her personality very differently.

Joyce had dealt with these things by burying everything under a mountain of anger and hatred, while Zero's Essence had simply accepted her reality.

In a way, Zero's Essence also reminded Gravis of the old Azure.

Before Azure had become a Star God, she had been incapable of feeling love or strong feelings of happiness, and she had accepted that part of herself.

Even if she didn't feel any strong feelings of friendship towards her friends, she had still been a great friend.

Sometimes, people had very similar disadvantages or issues, but different people would become very different.

If the same traumatic experience happened to different children, they would all still become different adults.

One of them would probably be able to see how this experience had shaped their personality, and they could accept that these things had happened to them.

One of them would probably get over the experience in adulthood and maybe even forgive the person responsible for their traumatic experience, resulting in a form of inner peace.

However, one of them would also probably never recover, and that incident would haunt them for the rest of their life. They might become unstable with rage, might commit suicide, might become depressed, might become isolated.

Overcoming trauma was like tempering. One would go through intense and unimaginable pain, and if they failed to get over it, their life would be ruined.

However, if they could overcome it, they would learn a lot about these things, and they would even grow as a person. If another horrifying event happened after that, the person would be better equipped to deal with it since they had gone through a similar experience before.
