What does the ebony stonepiece do?

I got this thing as a reward for catching all of the pokemon in the dex, and well the text is rather ominous. Alluding to something even

Seen some mentions it does something in the ruins beneath Reborn City

Thanks, I doubt that's it. But it was nice seeing that

If you take the ebony stonepiece to the ruins beneath reborn city and enter the door at the top of the tower you get a short cutscene. As far as i know, that's all it does

I'm wondering... 

Spoiler

Is the cutscene the same for all paths? In the cutscene I saw uploaded to YouTube, Lin fell down after her defeat at the end of the maingame. 

But that never happened on Lin's path. So wouldn't it be confusing if this cutscene also played on Lin's path?

I'm pretty sure it was a flashback to her falling down and meeting Arceus for the first time, given that it can only be shown after you've captured Arceus. I say this as someone who played through the entirety of Lin route (and saw said cutscene on Lin route) and only partway through Anna route postgame.

Well, I was wondering before... the first thing she says when she hits the ground is "you really are just like me". Those are the same words she says after she is beaten on Anna's path at the end of maingame. In his scene, Arceus pushes her off the edge and she falls somewhere. 

The Ebony cutscene just fits a bit too well to not be a continuation of this Anna's path scene... 

But then, I noticed that the dialogue really makes it seem like Lin and Arceus don't know each other yet (she thinks Arceus is just a noise, apologises for barging in, and calls the meteor a rock thing). 

... Puzzling!

I'm assuming the idea is that Lin just happens to say the same thing to the doctor after he throws her underground as she does to Arceus at the end of Anna's path. It's definitely a confusing line of dialogue though so i'm not sure if that's the correct interpretation.

Oooh! That would make sense!
