Sabine breathed deeply, looking ahead and thinking. Shen then quickly nodded her head a few times. "Yes, I understand. I think I can do it," she said. "I do not want to give a reason for Meesei to turn on anyone else."

Fendros asked a question before they could continue. "Sabine, just before you mentioned that Meesei thought we got you to confront her, do you think she might suspect that we have done the same this time."

While her eyes flicked up to Fendros for a fleeting moment, Sabine did not change her expression. "I am not certain. I will absolve everyone in my letter. I will make it as clear as I can. But...if she did not listen to me before, she may not regard the letter either." She hesitated. "Perhaps you had...better stick together when she wakes up. She will not be happy."
