Avo- fear? Do you know who you speak to, child? I existed on the fringes of Time when humans weren't even an evolutionary concept. I have nothing to fear. Even if this ritual ends in abysmal failure and we all perish, still, there is nothing to fear.
[She was already dead, reanimated against her will and shoved into this 'sardine can', to borrow a phrase, that was her vessel's mortal form. The only reason she stayed was because her soul's departure would spell Byleth's premature end, and a mortal life was only a blink. She could loiter for that long - and then she can rest.
Well, that was the plan anyway, until all this happened. Of course, she would prefer that Byleth survived, but if everything ended, well, it was out of their hands what happened here. The least she could do was shoulder the burden of death once more, and allow Byleth to pass on peacefully instead of enduring this ridiculous farce. Then their remains will be fed into the crucible of existence and be recycled for the next lot. Such is the way of things.]
You cannot stop the flow of Time, and it will carry us to this ritual's inevitable conclusion whether we swim along the current or let it carry us. I prefer not to exert more energy than I must... but, now that you're here, a question: Zenith or Meridian?
