[he looks over at her, even though he can no longer see.]
Not much of a story. Meltryllis and Mammon were caught by something—mentally. [and since they're ghosts, they couldn't just knock them out, alas.] I used my item to break the hold over them and show us the way to proceed, and it took my eye as the price.
Of course they are. The girls have never been targeted before; I'm not sure if anyone even knew that was possible. The house must have changed things to try to save itself, while we were in there, or else it wouldn't be different now.
And Master Blue isn't with theme, even though they said he would be.
You don't think they would have tried to leave us some sort of clue if that were true? I don't think any of them would outright lie when Galo asked if they'd be alright.
Like I said, the circumstances of this kill must be different from the past ones. In that case, the execution may be, as well—and that's not getting into the possibility of circumventing it. Not to mention, people are determined to bring all the dead of this round back, anyway.
Our situation may well have completely changed. We don't know what we're heading into, so all that we can say right now is that whatever it is, we'll face it with everything we have.
Without the four of them, we have no way of knowing exactly what has changed. It's even less certain that this will work out the way that they want when we have no real direction, other than to see one more person executed.
[ she could say something really snide at that comment, but she doesn't. just this once. she's a little relieved he can't see her in red, after all - silly as that may be. ]
Then I suppose we'll find out tomorrow, one way or another. We should both rest before then.
[ unless he stops her, she'll leave without another word. ]

And even if it doesn't, things'll be much easier once I have my abilities back, anyway.

It's for the better that I saved my spell for Jin Ling, then.

He needed it more, from the sounds of it.
[slowly, he removes the amulet from his neck, before holding it out to her.]
I didn't use it.

I doubt even my insight would help now. There's no way the house allow it.

Who knows. Maybe we'll get lucky one last time.
