Many years later, Nasan heard [[Mara Sov]] give a speech advocating that the Awoken leave the Distributary and return to the Sol System out of the belief that they owed the rest of humanity a debt for leaving them behind in their time of crisis. The idea of having abandoned the worlds of humanity in such a manner hurt Nasan deeply, and after four nights of not sleeping concluded that she would join Mara. By then, her friend Sjur had become Mara's paramour and introduced Nasan to her and the preparations for departure were made. Nasan vowed to talk with Awoken who had chosen to remain and convince them to come, but Mara rebuked her and asked that she instead help those who chose to leave come to terms with the grief that came with that decision. She accepted this task and saw some of the stress in Mara's face fade. During their exodus, Nasan felt a deep schism from the separation of their people. Holding onto the silver jar for comfort, Nasan wondered who she had left behind so long ago and if they might still be alive when the Awoken returned.<ref name="ECoM">'''Bungie (2019/3/5)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Joker's Wild]], Activision Blizzard - [[Lore]]: [[Lore:Ecdysis#Chords_of_Meaning|Ecdysis - Chords of Meaning]]''</ref> | Many years later, Nasan heard [[Mara Sov]] give a speech advocating that the Awoken leave the Distributary and return to the Sol System out of the belief that they owed the rest of humanity a debt for leaving them behind in their time of crisis.

Following the return to the | Following the return to the Sol System and the Awoken's attempt to build a [[Reef|society]] within the wrecked starships of the asteroid belt, Nasan bonded further with Mara and became an unofficial counselor to the Awoken leader. Realizing that Mara was an enigma to their people due to her style of speaking, Nasan did her best to convey her true meaning to the rest of their people. However, the aftermath of the Long Unquiet Night and the schism following the discovery of the Traveler and the [[Fallen]] on Earth led to many Awoken abandoning the Reef in favor of returning to Earth to directly help the remnants of humanity there.<ref name="ECoM"/> | ||
The day after Mara was made [[Queen]] and proclaimed that the riven group cannot return if they leave, Nasan asks to follow them and convince them that Mara was a good person and not the tyrant they believed. She saw Sjur bristle at that suggestion, but Mara held up a hand and allowed Nasan to continue. She wished for them to understand this truth and that if they still chose to live on Earth that would be acceptable. Mara noted softly that she did not need them to understand, but Nasan heard the grief buried in her comment. She was relieved and reassured Mara that she understood that and admired her courage to be disliked, but that good will needed to be cultivated. She left unsaid her thoughts that Mara was not used to feeling like she did not know everything, although she suspected that Mara heard that thought. Mara turned away and agreed to her request, but reminded her that if she left she could not return. Clasping her Queen and friend's hand, Nasan told her she understood.<ref name="ECoM"/> | |||
Traveling to Earth with a gun, a survival kit, and her silver jar, Nasan did not find any Awoken near her landing site. She began wandering a prairie and slept in lonely campsites. Slightly under two weeks after her landing, a group of [[Lightbearer|Risen]] who were afraid of the strange world and of her strange appearance attacked Nasan's campsite as she slept and murdered her.<ref name="ECoM"/> | |||
