Revelations from SHADOWBRINGERS

[Iscah]

Your quote doesn't seem to have the other parts of my extended question in there. I'm questioning if Solus was still alive, because Emet-Selch kept referring to it as not his own. But if Solus was truly dead, the body would belong to Emet-Selch entirely. Plus he seems to have liked the body enough to maintain its appearance.

My point is that regardless of whether the real Solus is still alive or not, Emet does not regard the body of this weak lesser being as "his", and would conceivably speak like that even if there wasn't another soul still "owning" the body because he doesn't want to claim ownership of it either. It's just an uncomfortable costume he's had to put on, and he disassociates himself from the identity of it.
