• Cyrene showed Kerythra Sunday’s failed dream of a painless world and argued that Laicus’s promised destruction likewise denied people any choice, leaving Kerythra speechless.

Cyrene showed Kerythra the final memory of Amphoreus and asked her to reject Destruction, but Kerythra remained resolved to keep the authority of Law.
