[Author's Note: There are spoilers in this poem. Also, even though I've never ever met her, I'd like to dedicate this poem to Calis because she writes really good Xenogears poetry and her work is what inspired me to write this one. Thank you, Calis!]

Once upon a time,
I was called Abel.
I was called Kim.
I was called Lacan.
I am called Fei.

Who am I truly?
Am I but one,
Or am I all,
of the lives
That flash past me.

Ten thousand years
Of life dawns on me.

Ten thousand years
Of living in this world.

It felt like a memory.
It felt like a dream.
In that dream,
I was called Lacan.
In that dream,
I loved a woman.
Her name was Sophia.
I know her as 'Elly'.
