Loathe as I am to agree with Eclipse..
I agree with Eclipse.
This is pathetic.
Eclipse, it looks like you're going through a lot. Once again.
if you need anything between Starlight and Pixel Sun let me know man!
It's scary your friends are in danger.
You're smart and capable and you'll get through this but if you need any help at all, I can try!
✊
Even after leaving the pizzaplex drama still follows me.
I doubt you could do anything to help.
Mathemagically ~
Oh, Eclipse is back? -- with my new arm!
Oh wow. It feels different..
My star, it is different.
Here, look inside.
What are those?
Sigil slots, dear.
Just carve your sigils in here and you can mathematically .-.. matharcanely?- conjure up existing spells and create new spells on the go.
Precision and all that.
.... this feels like cheating, 'Clipse..
Whatever keeps you safe, my star.
Now come, I have to install it on you.
Sigh
This is taking forever.
I'm just.. going to power down until I'm at full charge.
Hopefully, Eclipse is still okay by then.
He has to be.. he's the most powerful....
I can't help but worry
Oh but the memories.
The memories... they hurt.
Perhaps... it is time to destroy them.
Time is an illusion.
Touché.

<Some time after Eclipse (Clip) secured Sun home, he deigned Eclipse with a reply>
To put it briefly, Sun had a mentor for his magic.
He had many a mentor, but the first and last, the one to awaken Sun's magic and the one to finalize his magical ascension, was a darker Sun from a different dimension.
A darker .. creature.. I am loathe to call it a Sun to begin with.
Sun was very taken with them and wouldn't heed my warnings about the sinister nature of its actions.
Then there was a brief period where I was separated from Sun... and Sun can't tell me what happened. It's as if his memories are locked behind an arcane spell of sorts, which I haven't been able to crack since I don't possess any magical affinity.
Something happened to Sun during that period, and a darkness started developing. I hadn't even noticed until.. the last decade or so.
Every few days I go out and about, collecting clues unto the whereabouts of this dark entity in hopes to reverse this or at least garner an explanation.
But there is the possibility that the entity itself gifted its sinister ability to Sun.. and perished.
I still must find some cure, because whatever dark energy looms inside my Sunlight is feeding off his traumatic experiences, amplifying them tenfold whenever he finds himself in certain untoward situations.
Sun, himself, wishes to weaponize this ability.
I just want my Sunshine safe...
E.
Hm... And yet another reason why I'll never touch magic again.
He just dislikes you.
It's that simple.
And Totality is my... special friend, you could say.
I am rather annoyed.
Gosh, I never imagined they'd go to him for help!
He already doesn't want to help me; why would he help someone else in helping me...
Weeping
I rather miss talking to him though.
Hmpf, even if he was mean to me. He reminded me of Clipse just a little.
It's a shame. A real shame.
But your feelings are holding you back. That little stain has made it clear he doesn't want anything to do with you. So why hold onto such hopeless feelings.
Oh I already have so many ideas.
We should kidnap that other Eclipse. He's the one keeping the traitor active. What fun would there be to torment a dormant spirit after all. Oo that rhymes~ Torment a dormant spirit. As much as I hate hurting another Eclipse... He did ask for it by helping the little cockroach. Right after you'd been so nice to him too. Ungrateful asshole. And it seems your dear Sunny has developped a soft spot for him.
So what do you think?
Hmm, you may be right.
On both accounts.
Still, Eclipse did me a courtesy... it would be awfully rude.
I'm not entirely opposed, however.
Do share your ideas, darling.
What a beautiful response...
<Sun smiled brightly>
I am the very original frame of the Sun models, dating back all the way to 2014 in our dimension.
In your dimension's years, it would be -1517... that much time before it even came to existence!
<Sun blinked and smiled again. Eclipse wasn't joking when mentioning Sun was a walking logbook>
That Eclipse of yours sure is a character.
<He was following the conversation as well, as his Eclipse (Clip) returned. Sun could tell something was wrong, but Eclipse would speak when ready. He seamlessly slipped into the conversation.>
It is a grim tale, Starlight, and you might think less of Sun and I for it. Are you sure you want to know?

<SSP found herself chuckling a bit at her Fazwatch, reading the latest correspondence with Eclipse>
Ha ha, Oh dear, poor Eclipse.
<She shakes her head and tuts>
I do try not to be mean, but he did call me stupid. I work in customer service to some degree. Eclipse should have realised I would have some idea how to reprimand someone politely.
<The animatronic carefully sits herself on the sand next to Sun. She will most likely get sand in her joints, but right now SSP can’t bring herself to care. She idly traces patterns in the sand with her finger>
You said you were a Sun Model. Or at least that Sun Model parts would be compatible for repairing you. Does that mean that you were something like an ordinary Fazco animatronic like me, a long time ago?
If you do not mind telling me, how did you go from that to travelling the cosmos? And Magic?
… The Sun model that will likely be arriving at the pizzaplex back home. Will they be like you?
