I do find Calyx’s interest in our Azem crystal/powers both interesting and ominous. For a while I thought Sphene was going to be our soul shard from the 9th - given her rather portentous lines about “with your strength... without sacrifice.” But now that we know Calyx programmed her… maybe he’s the WOL of the 9th? Maybe he’s our twisted soul reflection, bent on “saving” as many people as possible?

I’m not sure if this is true, but I suspect he’d need a legitimate Azem soul shard to use our crystal. But if Calyx is just a computer driven memory - then he’s got no soul to work with.

So where is the hypothetical Azem soul from the 9th, that used to be Calyx?

If only there was a flesh and blood character with a soul from the 9th who also was sickly like Calyx and recently came into the story with a giant red flag regarding how they can’t use regulators - so if they were to die, their soul would be up for grabs…
