( He's quiet for a bit, hurt jabbing through his heart. He speaks quietly. )
Don't talk like that. I know you'll come back. You promised. And I just- I just know you will. ( He stares back up at Sinbad. ) I want you to see Sindria, I want you to see what we've done, despite all you did. I want you to come back and be who you were meant to be - a part of our lives.
( Ja'far blinks, his mouth forming into a small 'o'. ) A-Ah, that's right, the summit - that was after Magnostadt. If Aladdin was here, he could... he could explain... I'll do my best to tell you, though. It won't be the same, but-
Just. Have a seat. ( He gestures to the seat next to him, and he sighs, brushing his hair back from his face, looking pensive and worried.
Once Sinbad sits down - or at least looks ready to listen - Ja'far starts to explain Alma Torran. Who Aladdin's parents were. Their friends, their followers - Arba. Then Solomon's father - David, the other singularity. The one Sinbad eventually chose as magi. Il Ilah. How everything intertwined with their world.
It's not as detailed as Aladdin's summit, of course, but Ja'far's always been good at details and explaining things, and this time is no different. He looks to Sinbad, waiting for it to sink in. ) It's... a lot, but that should be the gist of it. They... they got to you, Sin. David entered you when the first Sindria fell. And Arba manipulated you to get what she wanted - even though she failed.
You're at fault, too, but it wasn't like you were acting on your own. They cajoled you, they did everything they could to get you to do what they wanted - and it worked, because of your stupid pride. But you still stopped them. You realized you messed up and you stopped them.

That's what matters.
