<Snipped quote by Melodious>

*An explosive force rebounds from the collision, utterly destroying anything nearby and annihilating the lower half of my body; the reduced mass increases my speed and I try to use what's left of my wings to maneuver myself into your head*

*Looks toward Melody to direct my speech toward her*
It's over.
*The crystal, on contact with you, reveals a cascade of knowledge in the brief moment you contact it, including that my goal is to reduce Existence's will to oppose its absorption, an intangible network of sorts is already established to complete the process of absorption, that I feel genuine regret for killing anyone, and that my people natively had no concept for death, let alone experienced it, all in one instantaneous flood of information transfer. In this moment, I grab your face to stop you and shove a hand through your chest*
