Waking up...waking up is a strange thing for The Noita. In large part because he rarely sleeps. In fact, he's likely died more often than he's slept, which really makes the two things seem more similar than maybe they should.
He even dreams. It's been a long time since his last death, but he still remembers how it used to be. There is a reason The Noita hated God, beyond the suffering he endured during his lives.
Every time he died, he relived all of that pain. He dreamt only of s...

If her kind wishes to claim that cluster for their own, then they can have it. One single cluster is literally so close to nothing in the face of the multiverse, so he doesn't mind, and unlike God, he isn't so petulan...

Well, to Noita, that is about all he has been able to think about for centuries.
