They're both ghosts to each other, as it were.
So, if the roles were reversed, what if the Star God and the End were the very beginning and end of the universe, staring at each other from afar?
The Star God, accustomed to wandering the vast cosmos, and the End, used to exploring 'black holes' similar to its homeland, until one day the True Ether spread, startling the 'End' who was exploring all black holes in the infinite parallel space-times?
Ian did not delve further into it; now was not the time to trace the origins of the End.
He merely keenly perceived that it was no accident the End could notice him.
Because 'Ian' exists simultaneously in many parallel space-times as one of the Immortals, and compared to other lives that are too insignificant for the End, 'Ian's existence is already significant enough.
At least as much of a difference as between bacteria and the southern giant cockroach, the End surely can see.
But the premise was that 'Ian' could leave the Cradle.
