The nature of Kellhus and his beliefs and motivations are explored, along with the uncertainty surrounding the No-God and the consult. The discussion ends with unanswered questions and speculation about Nathan's backstory. In this part of the conversation, the miscommunication between Kellhus and Moengus is highlighted, as well as the unclear timeline of events.

The hosts delve into the significance of dreams and memories, questioning their reliability and the possibility of manipulation.
