[ It truly must have been quite the tragedy for Daybit, if he has dedicated some of his five daily minutes to remembering that and devising a technique to avoid it! How sad is it that even though she got all 24 hours of the day to do the same, Ereshkigal will not manage to devise a technique to avoid it?
Though when he mentions it's better to be with another god for such memories... That makes her realize: ]
... You must have your share of painful memories.
[ She wonders what his worse memories are... Mhm. Well, she has her suspicion after having she has seen how important his culture as a whole is to him. She's read her fair share about his pantheon and civilization since he was summoned in this world. And what striked her more than any conflict, legend or rivalry is that...
His people are gone nearly entirely. That happens all the time of course, but to a civilization on such a scale. Civilizations will evolve, change and grow. But they still exist, only in a different form. Mesopotamia never fell, for example. Though there is no longer a "Mesopotamia" per se, you can see an evolution of it in countries like Iraq today. You can see how her civilization changed and became what it is today.
Tezcatlipoca's, however... They were exterminated entirely. It wasn't an evolution or a change. It was just ruthlessly destroyed and the descendants of the survivor are scarce, on the verge of extinction. She wonders if that's why Tezcatlipoca took interests in the Lostbelts... But regardless, she thinks this may be his worst memory, if he got to see this happening. She doesn't think Quetzalcoatl on her own would qualify as the worst memory.

Unless he has hidden secrets like her. ]
Don't worry, I won't tell anyone if I see yours.
