==Speculations==
*The ending of Second Eruption implies the humans souls of Herrschers are retained in their cores. Therefore, any time a Divine Key "reacts" to someone or shows personality, it is likely that the soul inhabiting the core is reacting to the person and their reactions are manifesting in the Divine Key.
