[Tieria had never answered directly to Ribbons. Anything he had done had come and gone through VEDA, though he couldn't deny the possibility that he'd been fed information from Ribbons at times to sway Celestial Being's actions.

Losing it had been a hard blow, but the experience had taught him more than any information download could have. He could act on his own and make his own decisions. In a way, Ribbons had inadvertanly given him something of a gift.]
