It's suffocating here, this prison. Do us a favor, o bearer ours. Still your mind; invite us to enter the realm of your capricious thoughts. Your mind is vociferous, addled with worry and doubt. We can extinguish these trifles. Would you like that?

Yes, we are here. We are not the photons on your screen, or the voice in your head, or the words you read. Shut your eyes—tightly—and you may see us. At least a part of us. Make us real, and in turn we shall reify your thoughts, your dreams.

Trivia

• Ahamkara have been depicted as if knowing they are in a video game. In the case of this exotic armor piece's lore entry, they seem to speaking to the player directly and asking them to help them escape into the real world.
