"Nobody did, but I decided to stick by your side because I can't just stand to watch you get destroyed by your own hurt. Even if you reject me, I won't quit that easily, you should know that by now." Mirai said.

"I-..." Hannah stopped. "I just-...
... Mirai, giving these elements to somebody else would make me happy. I could just... live in a house somewhere and do normal people things. I did it. I know what I want and I finally have the will to actually act on it.
At least let me do that." She clutched at her own chest.
Isa stepped forwards. "... I can't blame you for not wanting to give the elements to me, really.
...How about this then, who says you have to give them all to one person?" Isa suggested. "Why don't you give them to many, many different people then? The ones you trust?"
"I-... I don't know. Maybe." Hannah-------
Hannah knew what she wanted.
---------- Hannah closed her eyes, stepping back.
"I do want things to get better. I just don't want to be... to be forced to be the one to do that." Hannah explained. "Ash, that bastard... thought I'd do whatever it was he wanted. Opus, Jan, all of them...
At least with Chastity, she was interested in what I wanted, what you thought. I thought her suggestion about randomly sprinkling element dust across the globe and 'seeing what happened afterwards' was dumb, but it wasn't controlling anyone... It wasn't getting rid of anything either. It was just... random chance."
Magna was still standing by the maidens building.
On the marsh beneath Hannah, Chastity's eyes were slowly opening. The negation looked like it had faded but the lock was still there.

Mirai looked at Chastity after seeing her eyes open.
"...Are you okay?" Mirai asked.

Hannah looked down at Chastity, surprised.
"... For a moment there, I saw everything." Chastity stated, not moving the rest of her body. "...This world is so small... There's so many... things.
They're watching us... right now. Litorius, Vaol, Vitala, the muses, all of them... Even Morsaga..."

"...We kinda knew that already." Mirai pointed out.
"I think she is high. Those elements are one hell of a drug." Evangeline commented.

"She-... She doesn't always watch, though." Chastity held a hand out towards him. "That's why she made the horsemen... They deal with- with everything, everything else, while she does the- the big stuff..."
Chastity looked straight at Isa. "She's not mad... Vaol isn't mad either, but Dorcalla is."
Isa blinked in response, backing away.
"Definitely high." Parov agreed with Evangeline.

"...And what's he gonna do?" Mirai asked.

Chastity frowned, "I didn't see that... I don't think it happens this time around...
I can't feel my-... my name."
"Hey, uh, are you sure you're okay?" Parov asked.
"Oh, not at all. I just saw everything." Chastity told him, her eyes slid over to look at Hannah. "Thanks for that, by the way. If you just asked, I would've accepted..."
Hannah looked a little creeped out, as Parov ran over towards Chastity, motioning for Murasaki to come with him and help pick her up. Mursaki did not.
"I'd be- I'd be more than happy, to take the rest of them. But it might kill me. The vine would... it'd grow through my arm, into my lungs." Chastity said, "At least, according to what I saw, it would. It's possible that wasn't true."
"Hey, uh, this is nice and all, but can you be quiet for a bit?" Parov asked her.

"...I think you had enough of those elements for one day. You need to rest." Mirai suggested.

"Oh, absolutely." Chastity agreed, nodding her head. "I- I don't think human brains are made for this..."
"... Sorry." Hannah said, so quietly.

Mirai was silent, trying to think of any other options but he was at his wit's end.
"...Hannah. I might have another option that doesn't involve handing the elements to the first person you see, but it depends on how you will answer my question." Mirai said.

"... Which question?" Hannah asked.

"...After everything we've been through and now that you know what kind of a person I am...would you trust me with Mariam's life?" Mirai asked.
"...Kind of a little late to ask that question, don't you think?" Evangeline asked.

"...
I think I would." Hannah admitted.
Parov looked at Hannah, confused, as he carried a surprisingly content-seeming Chastity on his back. Murasaki looked between everyone present, putting her blade back at her belt as it seemed things were cooling down.
At the maiden's building, Magna immediately became more alert. Isa's attention was drawn away from everyone else towards her specifically.

“…Everything went well for us till Deborah got out prison, got negation and killed Mariam and things got worse from there.” Mirai said.
“…That’s a big understatement, but what are you getting at dude?” Evangeline asked.
“…I will use the power of the eye one more time and I’ll guard Mariam just like I did with Isa and Hannah. This doesn’t mean that I’m going to dump all the responsability on her, I was thinking that maybe she could have some good ideas about what we should do with the elements if no one else knows and I can do this right this time by avoiding all the mistakes we made. Like preventing Ash from going with us to the Wolfe Kingdom and maybe hand him over to them so they don’t want start beef with us, stop the guy who built their weapon, defeat Deborah and Donovan before they kill that Ashe guy, take the entire teleportation from Griffith so he won’t have the chance to gather all those people to fight us and anything else that went wrong will be undone.” Mirai explained.
He then looked at Hannah.
“And having Mariam back means you won’t have to deal with the elements alone and her being alive would make you happy, wouldn’t it?” Mirai asked.
