      2) Complete Remission: All traces of your cancer is gone.
      Dose this mean you are "cured"? No, but it means that you have to keep checking, and if "reoccurance", or if the cancer comes back, it usually does within the first 5 years after first diagnosis or treatment.

      Soken is a Primal, and his corporeal aether comes from self-seeded shitposts. He lets them out into the world, watches them flourish in the fan space, and then reabsorbs them later.
      You know at each Rising event, you do a little questline and then meet Yoshida in the Aetherial Sea? Just once, we're going to meet Soken, and he's going to appear as his own Mothercrystal

    There's something charming about seeing two professionally dressed musicians on the stage with the performer, a highly regarded composer, not just being able to not only play the instrument of ridiculous sounds, but he took the time to learn every note to relay this perfection and then the pianist just stays silent and still, but adds into the chaos
