[It's difficult to remember all of the details of his dream clearly. He has to concentrate to bring them to his mind, like he's trawling through the swirling mess that his mind has become after a week of deathly sleep.]

I think he must have done something. Manon said that he didn't know what, but that his shard got… mixed up with a bunch of others.

[Liem's brows furrow, stay knit tightly together as he nibbles at the piece of bread he's sliced from the loaf. He remembers barely anything else about his communion, and what he does remember only raises more questions. But perhaps, if Manon's shard can be purified, he can clarify what he'd meant.]

What I want to know is… that man, Aetós. Was he the reason Manon ran to Meridian, even though he was aligned with Zenith? Could he even have run to them with his shard in that state? Or did that only happen once he was in Meridian?

And why did Yima seem to think his shard might be corrupted beyond saving? I didn't know such a thing could happen.

[It all reeks of a conspiracy to him, but they don't have enough pieces to puzzle together anything useful.]
