[ that makes her go silent in thought for a moment, her expression a little troubled as she formulates an answer. ]
... I'd be lying, if I said I didn't feel a little futility as I watched her die, but... I was able to get through to Aqua a little last night, and today, it seemed like the possession was stronger, as if she was losing a little more of herself.
It's difficult to watch them lose themselves.... it's difficult to watch them go, but I voted for Aqua instead of Camille because I didn't want to see her be someone whose bonds couldn't save her.
[ .... ]
I do think it is what part of her wanted, for it to end for her. All the others... said or showed something similar. Is it helping? I don't know, but it is what they preferred.
[ he'll listen, quiet, hands going behind his back and twisting together. ]
Thank you, for your thoughts. I know it is a difficult question.
For what it is worth, I think you are correct. It is an impossible predicament, but you did your upmost with the information you have, and in many ways it seems like a mercy.
Unfortunately ... I'm not sure that the wish can be used as a cure. It was explained to me that perhaps the magic that enables the wishes also powers the monster. Fire to fight fire, so to speak.
At the very least, I know that certain partners can be saved now. If a partner is killed at any time before execution, as long as the remaining half alive is able to find someone else available to reforge the bond with, they will survive.
... I know you can wish to save someone from being killed by the afflicted... I was hoping it could save someone from being executed, but I suppose that makes sense.
[ she doesn't have the energy to question the fine details. ]
Is that how Iwatooshi's partner was saved? I didn't know who his partner was, but I know he had one. I was wondering from the wording in the rulebook... At least we didn't have to endure another loss today.

I'll be better soon. I won't say it doesn't hurt, but it's something I had enough resolution to do once I was there.

[ she wonders about that, too. ]
It's moments like that... that I think about finding my partner again in order to wish the affliction away for at least one person.
