[Then they must disagree. In Hayame's opinion, those who believed in the shards being real were those who were too desperate not to believe. She had felt Yima's manipulations in her hearts, forcing a feeling of calm and maternal warmth into her as if they were nostalgic and normal... but they could not be, to a woman who had never known a mother. The idea that she would be able to use that same ability to make her precious little shards feel exactly like the person one longed for most seems obvious to her as the color of the sky.

She would trust Meridian claiming the same ability to fetch their loved ones from oblivion just as little.

But she does not needle it further. She and Set disagree on several many things. What is important now... is that the Prism is in their hands, Set has refocused, and they may decide a new course. She listens... and shuts her waist pouch with a final little snap. Make the shards "disappear"? That would work, yes.]

Or give them to us.

[If they have more mettle to deal with "innocents", then so be it. But now that the suggestion has been made, Set's claim on Gen's punishment made...]

Set. I would see this Prism back to safekeeping in Akua's hands back at camp.

[Sooner rather than later. The other woman had agreed to use her powerful magics to that end, and only that had made her feel safe leaving such important Objects in another's hands. But once they had seen that task to completion...]

Once it is done... I ask that you call upon us as needed.

[Five Objects to claim, to keep hold of, to steal, to steal back, to possess until the end. In the days to come... there will be much to do.]
