Aventurine frowned.
"What if I refuse to answer?"
"Then try it." Sunday's gaze turned cold. "See whether the Harmony will refuse you."
He gave Aventurine no chance to resist before asking:
"[Question: Are you in possession of a Cornerstone?]"
Under the Harmony's power, Aventurine found himself unable to move. He could only answer honestly.
"Yes," Aventurine replied coldly.
"A concise answer," Sunday observed.
"You understand that the more you say, the more likely you are to slip up."
"[When you entered, did you hand over a Cornerstone to The Family?]"
"Yes," Aventurine answered again.
"[Did the Cornerstone you handed over to The Family belong to you?]"
"Yes."
"[Is your Cornerstone in this room right now?]"
"Yes."
"[Has your memory remained untouched by any form of alteration or deletion, including but not limited to the Garden of Recollection's methods?]"
"Yes."
"[Are you from the Evegian clan of Tzitzikan?]"
"...What?"
Aventurine's frown deepened.
"Yes," he said, displeased.
"You even know that?"
Sunday did not answer. He continued questioning Aventurine with the Harmony's power.
"[Do Evegians lack any ability to read, alter, or control their own thoughts or those of others?]"
"They do. Is that relevant?" Aventurine's gaze remained calm.
Sunday thought for a moment, then asked:
"[Do you love your family more than yourself?]"
"Yes."
"[Did all Evegians die in a massacre?]"
"No."
Sunday's rude questions grated on Aventurine, but he could only grit his teeth and answer.
"[Are you the only survivor of your clan?]"
"...Maybe."
"[Do you hate this world and want to destroy it with your own hands?]"
"..."
Aventurine drew a deep breath.
"I don't know."
"Interesting." Sunday nodded slightly.
"Then one last question..."
"[Can you swear that, at this moment, the Aventurine Stone is lying safe and sound in this case?]"
"..."
"Of course."
Sunday smiled. Satisfied,
