That's what the rules say. But I wonder what they meant by delivering her spirit... I can't imagine they'd be sending her to Yama, after all. No way would that guy have anything to do with this.
We can't do that! If what they said was true, then she didn't choose to kill Haruka any more than we all chose to be here. And if there's any way to save her, we need to at least try!
[ her voice goes small, uncertain, with a thread of desperation. ]
I don't know. [ and brilith hates that, she hates it so much. there must be something, something she's missing, something that's fallen through the cracks. death and execution can't be the only answer, can they? ] If she really was sick, there must be a medicine for it. We should try to find it and give it to her as soon as possible.
[ she doesn't want to believe they can't do it, but there's so little time, and the hosts aren't answering, and they don't have magic to help find a solution. whether they can or can't, the next step after the medicine is obvious: ]
A-And as long as we're here, we have to try to find out what caused it. If we can do that, we should be able to prevent it from happening again, right?
... That's how humans progress, you know? When a problem arises, you find the cause and then determine a way to prevent it from occurring again.
The same thing applies here. We may not have the power we usually have, so we may not be able to act as quickly as we wish we could... but we'll find a way, Brilith.
[ she won't comment further on their hosts. it feels... ungrateful, somehow. ]
It's not like we could start while we're both blind... But I'll definitely ask him again soon. Even if we stay this way, I don't want to sit around and do nothing.
[ ...she wants to ask, but is it any of her business? agni will always have things to do without her; he’s never been as isolated as she was. it makes her jealous, maybe, but brilith is glad that he’s there for the ones who need him most, even if it’s not her. ]

[ she hugs her arms tight around her waist. ]
Is it true that they'll execute her tomorrow?

[ she's getting worked up again... ]
If they changed it once, they can do it again so no one else has to die! Or we could just... not follow their rules.

First, we'll need to know what we're up against.

I just wish I knew where to start.
[ in all her books, there was never anything like this. she doesn't even know what questions to ask, really. ]

[ ...no. she cuts that thought off immediately with a shake of her head. ]
You're right. We should ask them as soon as we can contact them again.

In the meantime, you should definitely start taking those lessons from Mammon, if you aren't already.

I know. That's always been one of your strong points, Brilith.

Then go. I can get back to the room on my own.
