I have achieved it.

[shaft]

[ good end for harrow? hm ]

Congratulations then. Not everyone gets a happy ending.

[outsidebones]

[a slight laugh. and have a memory.]

[shaft]

[ The memory feels a little sick, and Claude isn't sure if he should hold his head or his stomach.

Confused, he asks without thinking, ] What is a "Lyctor"?

[outsidebones]

[yeah. she feels nauseated and her head hurts just from thinking this memory.]

An immortal being. Um...in Lup's world, it is called a lich. Someone who can use necromancy beyond the capacity of a mortal.

[shaft]

I see. You really did achieve your goal.

[ ... ]

Was it worth it?

[outsidebones]

It was the most terrible mistake I have ever made. At the least, the station provided me the means to rectify some of it. Otherwise, I would be destroyed by it.

[shaft]

[ he shouldn't pry ]

You lost someone.

[outsidebones]

I lost Gideon. [she closes her eyes.] My only friend, someone I cannot bear to lose.

[shaft]

... I'm sorry. That's a terrible loss.

You were able to bring her back? Eventually?

[outsidebones]

...To a degree. I believe she will live again. Her soul is no longer in danger of being destroyed. That is enough of an assurance for now.

[shaft]

Well, I'm glad to hear it. [ ... ] It does seem like a grisly process.
