The possibility of it will always exist. Nothing truly lasts forever. Not money, not power, not even gods. You must accept that there are things you cannot change, so that you can be free to help the things you can.
She was. Then she got lost in the Void. She calls to me to save her... I hear her. All the time. Most of the time, I'm pretty sure that's just the Void using her voice - it drove me insane about a year ago.
But I don't know for sure. It could be her. It sounds just like her. I still feel her, like only a twin can.
And Kiriona came back. She was lost in the Void for eight months and popped back out like no time had passed. That means it's possible that Corona will return too.
I'll be clear, I say this next to demonstrate my meaning to you, not to speak ill of the Duchess.
Your sister is, as many have been over our time here, lost to the Void. Resurrection is therefore redundant. In fact, any gift the Duchess may offer you would be, as the Void is not something she can conquer entirely, or even face without aid.
I understand your meaning, but the knowledge I will gain has use and application in the future. One day, we will return home. One day, my sister will be with me. One day, she will die as she not immortal as I am.
With Resurrection, I can bring her back. My Lord refused to teach it to me; Zlatka will.
So tell me, how can I let that go? She's my other half.
And tell me, how will we return home? When will that be? Within your sister's lifetime?
Understand, I live with the hope that we will find a way to return, too. But to make plans on a guarantee of that is naive, especially when those plans cause harm to those currently around you.
This is your true choice, Ianthe. A future you cannot be certain of, or the present you are already living.
I've given you guidance as plainly as I can, but I won't deny I have my own hopes of which path you'll choose. That your steps may cross my own once more.
Regardless, though, I wish you peace and fortitude. Goodbye again, Ianthe.

If I don't have to accept the death of my twin sister, why should I?

I just don't know if I can do what I have to in order to get it anymore.

I don't know. It feels like a betrayal against my own soul.
Thank you, for talking to me about this. I need to go.
