[No. No, no, no, he's putting together the puzzle faster than he wants to and he's not sure he wants to explain what he's just clued in to. But...it wouldn't be right to lie to Mikleo. He respects the seraphim more than that and instead he's busy staring at his feet.]

The other people I've talked to who have this mask are people who've stayed dead. [He swallows suddenly, remembering their very first conversation.]

Mikleo. Tell me again how a human becomes a seraphim?

["All humans have at least a little bit of negative energy in them. The process to becoming a seraph means having all of that negative energy stripped away to become completely pure. It's rather aptly named as 'reincarnation.' The downside is that the memories they had are erased."

Reincarnation. The concept that the soul can begin a new life in a new body. After biological death.

If Sorey and Mikleo grew up together since they were babies, but Mikleo's been a seraph his entire life then...

Whoa.]
