[ Dynamo is so sweet. He'll remain somewhat apologetic, mostly just wracked with guilt over… all of this. They appreciate that Dynamo is so patient, though. Mizuki genuinely loves the little drones, and he won't tell them to move away. ]

We're called "the Swarm" or just "Seaborn" by people not within our connection. You can use "We Many," if you would like. I'm a part of you, after all, but it's not a requirement.

As for who… Mizuki is within the collective… [ That's a little harder to explain… ] A short answer would be that "I" have an abnormal amount of individuality as you describe, despite the fact We have cut all ties to the Aegir I once was. An anomaly that has not proven to be an issue, thus there's been no reason to look into it.

A longer answer, We… are the will of the Seaborn, but that will is not a continuous stream throughout Us. The Firstborn all are the ones who dictate our… "guidelines". The thing that manifests as Our will. All four are supposed to have an equal "weight" within the collective, but…

…I had been following the will of the Arbor for so long — its teachings that I've learned within the Church and what its Bishop had told me — but truthfully the Arbor's voice hasn't been heard for a very, very long time outside of its grieving. It's hard to say for sure if I'm doing the right thing or not, but I do my best to say my peace on its behalf when I can.
