The Lost One, also known as Geli and internally Bsteli, is a thoughtform in the cyst. They were a resident of Jokzi Ozo before the tyrant tore them away to use them as the memory of the golem Geli in Golem Maintenance.
Personality
Geli is kind and wise, being among the first of the thoughtforms to awaken. They have a strong sense of morality, disliking and dispersing conflict and refusing to bring harm to sapient thoughtforms. They consider the Council's goals of unity and means of achieving them to be noble, as it was only this that prevented the cyst from turning entirely to sludge. They carry a deep shame for the thoughts they ate like anyone else when they first awakened, though the Fairy admonishes this shame, believing it should be pride instead.
After having been modified by BSTRD as a means of escaping their memory, Geli is no less disturbed by the apathetic, mechanical workings of the framing device. They carry a newfound appreciation for it, and their knowledge of its numbers can be and are used. They can talk like BSTRD and enjoy doing so, and they take interest in guns and violence.
Golem Maintenance
Using the Unity Mask on Geli will reveal hidden text that is desperately asking for help and to be let out. Using the Hunger Mask will reveal a door directly in front of Geli that connects to the thought space but does not bring the recollection locus.
::/FRAME/
After using the Hunger Mask to access the door, which leads to ::/FRAME/, the Interloper encounters a surprised BSTRD inhabiting a BSTRD Golem and surrounded by fragmented daemons. It explains it was working on a surprise new Evil Mode, but the surprise is now ruined by the Interloper. After some convincing, it agrees to help Geli get out if the Interloper completes its newest Evil Mode, which is framed around freeing Geli.
After the Interloper goes back to Golem Maintenance, a BSTRD-ified and lucid Geli greets the Interloper and happily declares that they are free. After meeting them back in ::/FRAME/, Geli explains they were altered by BSTRD and that the two shared some knowledge between one another. They are able to exist both in ::/FRAME/ and in Golem Maintenance in order to keep the memory intact, and explains it as "reaching outside the memory itself." The Interloper realizes that the recollection locus is a representation of themself, and they must use Shells to participate in BSTRD's game.
After completing Evil Mode, the Firmament is defeated and tricked into letting the Interloper and Geli pass through its walls. BSTRD stays behind and the memory is erased due to its temporary nature. Now free, Geli returns to their room in Jokzi Ozo.
Jokzi Ozo
Geli can currently be found in their room in Jokzi Ozo, which became a recreation of the vessel used for Evil Mode. The Interloper can speak with Geli here to replay the Evil Mode through a dream or ask them questions about themself, daemons, and Jokzi Ozo and its residents. The recollection locus that the Interloper used to participate in the Evil Mode, known by the name of the Stowaway, is also in Geli's room. When spoken to, they repeat the last few words spoken to them. Geli says they do not know what they think or how they feel, but they do play with Isabel's effigies from time to time.
The Fairy mentions Geli to have been among the "first to awaken" to their nature as a thoughtform, and to eat other thoughts - hence how visually intact they are. Geli is now uncomfortable at the mention of this fact, likely guilty for eating the others; they do not willingly relay this fact to the Interloper, and whenever it is brought up, they attempt to change the subject.
