[He keeps his eye on the windows until Piety gets to him, then slowly, he lowers his gaze. A frown comes to his face, but it's a soft one, not an angry one.]
I didn't come here to make friends. [But...] I guess I'm already doing a bad job of that. [He looks away.]
Yes, that's right. We're from the same world, and they're both very important to me. We used to travel together; they helped me when I was traveling to keep the peace between our warring nations.
[His brows furrow, though not in a bad way. He glances down and peers at Ion for a bit.]
But you're here now. And... Love, too, who knows Yu. But... something happened? How did you all... end up ascending? Some of you are thought dead, some of you were in the middle of something important.
I have a feeling that it may have been a somewhat different experience for each of us, so it's hard to say, exactly. I can tell you only what I know from my own experience. I was dying...no, I did die. But then, suddenly I was remade whole again upon a new world...and I just knew, at that same moment, that I was Piety as well as Ion, and what my purpose was.

I think I may have been chosen because as I died, I was experiencing an overwhelming feeling of hope for the future. Maybe it was just that I was in the right place at the right time, but...I think, ultimately, the answer is simply that this is where I was needed the most.
[Surprisingly, Sasuke accepts this without any kind of disagreement or nitpicking. He frowns, and his eyes lift back up to the windows of the cathedral, looking them over distantly.
It's familiar, in a way.]
After Madara stabbed me, I almost died. It felt like dying. I woke up, meeting Hagoromo, and he gave me half of the power needed to stop Madara and, later, Kaguya. The Infinite Tsukuyomi. [A pause.] And then after, I was alive.

[Said as if Sasuke didn't just give the most tsundere answer ever.]
I'm honored to have such a kind person as a friend. My real name is Ion, by the way.

Mm. [There is not a kind bone in his body..............] You know Luke and Guy, don't you? Their world, at least.
They were talking about it.
