He took a breath, considering. The storms had been something he had underestimated and ill understood at first. He had not yet found a way to explain them to satisfaction. "There is a magic on many other worlds called Science. For quite some time Jane tried to explain this science to me, and I could not understand it, no matter how I studied. The storm that made me believe that I was from the world of the Magic Knights the first time... I not only understood science, I taught it. Jane was not my teacher then, but my best student. We both firmly believed we were living those roles. I had memories of an entire life at that time. While some of it is gone now, lost in a haze that I cannot penetrate, I now understand many of the fundaments of their world, and the odd things they say and have as expectations. Further, I understand science where I did not before. In the most recent storm, my memories were of...." Yeah... he was still having issues with memories of having been crippled... because of his height. He hated how no other world seemed to see his appearance as the mark of power it truly was.
He shook his head. "I created in that storm, things that were not life, but were beyond the magic of Ceiphro. I know how to create them now that I am again myself. These storms are invasive and chan give false memories back to one's own youth. But you are here now, in time you will come to experience a storm.

"The problem is that when you're affected by a storm, you do not realize you are affected by a storm, generally. Someone has to know to bring you to Helix and convince you to go. A good friend who is no longer here did that once for me." And saved him from becoming the worst threat Ceiphro had ever known.
Dark memories. Painful. He shook his head, trying to banish them. "I agree, this is all very confusing," he finally said, softly, his hand squeezing hers lightly. "Come, you can stay with us. There are people in this world who will be more than happy to help you figure out this place, and I assure you, I am one of them."
This is beautiful and wonderful and so painful and I love it.
