[As the broken little world is extinguished, the other café visitors discreetly turn back to their meals, drinks and conversation partners. Frieda, rapt by what she's seeing and hearing, hasn't even noticed how many others were paying attention.]

One of your own, then..! Who'd hate their own world enough to bring about its destruction after seeing everyone else sacrifice themselves to save it?

[There's something else that still troubles her - Lahabrea said that he and the two other survivors managed to avoid their people's fate by escaping into the Aetherial Sea. While at first she was stunned at the sheer concept of entering a metaphysical realm, she now feels that her real questions hasn't been answered yet: Why were they alone chosen to survive? Or did they choose their survival themselves?

At the sight of Lahabrea's exhaustion, though, she first extends a hand, pushing through her hesitation, to place it over his in a gesture of comfort, transferring onto him the strange energy they otherworlders need to not to stone here. Come to think, was he in danger of that, having sequestered himself away in the library for so long?]


You don't have to speak more on it now if it's too painful. I... I wish I knew a way out of your situation, but...

[Needless to say, it's far beyond her scope of influence. That said, there may be options for Lahabrea as an individual. Another anonymous person who responded to Frieda's network post mentioned wanting to stay on Ellipsa forever, having nothing left to return to back home. But she has a feeling that Lahabrea, much like herself, feels too strong a sense of duty to consider that possibility.]
