[There is a scab on Rin's hand from attempting some magecraft earlier in the week. Without her gems the only thing to draw mana from was her blood, and that made this ritual all the more easy. The young woman rips off the scab at her palm and watches the blood begin to pool. Once she has enough to drip onto Byleth's crest she will raise her hand and do so.
Thoughts, emotions, visions — they flood in like the ocean tide and speak of loneliness. An endless stream of partings: family, friends, loved ones. So it was no surprise to be parted from the world at large when she came to Kenos. It was obvious to her that trying to bring her world back would end in corruption and another parting — just like the downward spiral of her sister. The only answer is to build a new world. Free from the ways it tormented her sister, free from the corruption of people like Kirei and Zouken, and free of false hope. Because that's what Meridian provides, and Rin's convinced of it.
It will fade, eventually. The tide will pull back out and Sothis will be feeling warmth and vitality blossom in Byleth.]
