I don’t suppose there’s anything to do but take your word for it for now. Let’s pay Demi a visit.

Really, I just got distracted by the endless amount of other important things happening. I feel like we were navigating the false realities ages ago.

@Multifarious

I’m willing to wait if you would like to.

*Returns after a few minutes*
Our best people are looking into it, but need more time. Her condition hasn’t changed.

It’s not physical trauma... Which is scarier, I think.

@Multifarious

Is there anything in your training grounds that would cause that kind of effect? I was under the impression that you were all very much in control of everything there.

@Etcetera

I have a couple of ideas... None of which involve the training grounds specifically.

@Etcetera

Isolate this as well. The answer that makes the most sense is that she’s... Taking punishment for defending you. Standing in opposition to the principles of the Elements and the Lost Will of Nature.

@Multifarious

@Etcetera

There would have been no relenting until you were killed. This is the value placed on the knowledge so few of us are permitted to know.
