That's a good start. You're sticking to the decision you made, but you understand how it made other people feel too.

I think you guys took a big risk, and I'm biased enough to want to see someone else come back, but I'm not hurt. And anyway even if I was, hurt feelings don't last forever.

[But death does.]

[she sighs, closing her eyes for a brief moment.]

I think everyone's biased about who they want to see come back. Even I... [trailing off, before she shakes her head.] Well, it didn't feel fair to use it on anyone other than Camille. We're already forced to kill the possessed through the ritual, but we don't get anything from the cabinet for that. The overseers didn't discourage it and we already knew those items didn't come from the cult, so...

[We hurt her.]

Even if hurt feelings don't last forever, I won't blame anyone if they decide they can't trust us from now on. I know I wouldn't.

[a little bubble full of ellipses bobs over Lavi's head for a moment, then]

We all still want the same thing -- to stop the ritual and get out of here. So I can trust in that, and I'm sure the rest of us can too.

[halved]

Yeah... Sure. [...] You have other people to see, right? I won't keep you.

[bookpapers]

That's not like you.

[WHAT DOES THAT MEAN LAVI....]

If you want to be alone, then you can just tell me. I won't nag at you.

[she looks at him, frowning.]

What's that supposed to mean?
