[Hayame has indeed been considering.

It does not suit her. As pathetic as she found it now that she is in position to have to do so… Hayame was not accustomed to making decisions for herself, not outside of how to respond to enemies or prey on a hunt or the battlefield. That, she knew how to do. (Didn’t she?)

But, this? Weighing consequences that might affect other people, that relied on knowledge of magic and the mechanics of a world she had yet to duo out grasp… ? Trying to make the right decision without knowing or being told what it was? She didn’t even know why she was bothering, it wasn’t as if she knew this Manon person- in fact, if she were going based on actions, she would be perfectly justified having crushed it as a defeated enemy, yet-

She tells herself it is because the shard has value, that both factions wanted it and so for their own purposes it is best to keep it secret and safe until they could decide what to do with it… they had suffered for it, perhaps it could be leveraged for something…

But the debilitating pain and fear of the chaotic communion that had been forced into their minds during the struggle have stuck somewhere hard to reach and rip out.]
