It was strange. Just moments before, he was a little scared, but seeing Mithos change and calm down before his eyes, some of that fear faded. He seemed like his old self - the Mithos he knew - again. What he was saying hadn't changed, and neither did the situation, but...he wasn't as scared. This was his friend. The one who wanted to be with him forever.
His hands remained on Mithos's arms to keep both of them grounded as he ran over his friend's explanation in his head. Eventually, her consciousness would fade away...and she'd really be gone. He couldn't help but think of Presea's sister, trapped and fading away in her Exsphere, unable to move or speak. How miserable she was. That wasn't the kind of life Raine would have wanted.
But she wouldn't always be trapped, right? She was going to come back again.
(At the cost of what other lives? Someone else would die so Raine could live again, right? Like Colette...)
He couldn't stop shaking; his hand still trembled over Mithos's shoulders. But he steeled himself. There had to be another way, right? One where their sisters and everyone else could live.
Right.
"Then what should we do? How will we find a temporary vessel?"
