Plunge yourself into the darkness you so choose to deny and let me take hold of you, Haerin. "You let the dragon rest its vestige within yourself, so let me have a go at it." This phrase echoes in your mind as you witness Haerin's vessel crack and tear, the darkness around you consumed by your abyss. That feeling of darkness inside him twisting and rippling, as you finally accept what you are. A monster.
"Let me use you this time, to reside in your vessel as your vestige for just a moment and let me free, fully. Cut yourself, let the blood linger on your blade as you slowly tear apart from the inside out, my body replacing yours for just a moment... But fret not, once I'll be done. Once everything that stands in your way is dead. That I promise."
Baam: The endless night, the constant darkness that Haerin had let fester within him for far too long. Does it have his best interest at heart, is it simply not using him? Great question.
Baam's appearance is that of a younger Haerin, yet with many things amiss. White hair, blackened out eyes, blackened out smile, a smooth almost featureless face with just a large, uncanny smile plastered onto it, unmoving, unchanging, even when expressing other emotions, as though it were a mask over its true form.
