All individual ai are connected to sefai, the origin soul. Connections may be weakened, or even broken, but can always be ‘repaired,’ in a sense. A person’s ai, or soul, is their true self, the one they have always been and will always be. Their connection to sefai, and all other ai, is innate—though this connection can be forgotten or even ignored during an ai’s many lives. Those with a strong attachment to sefai feel connected not only to their true, inner self, but to all others.
Conversely, some have been distanced from their ai, others’ ai, and sefai. These individuals are guided by only their ego—a changing, temporary identity that exists in only one life. They often find it difficult, if not impossible, to feel their primal connection with others, and ultimately, the whole. The most unfortunate of these individuals are completely severed from their ai, and suffer greatly in their loneliness.
Masks are identities that an individual wears—extensions of the ego. They are, oftentimes, used to disguise their ego in the presence of others. Most people craft many masks for themselves, and have even had masks placed on them by others. But it is believed the less masks one wears, the closer that individual is to sefai.
