Tsuneo seemed a bit troubled by what I was saying, but for a while we said nothing. After a moment, Tsuneo eventually walked away to tend the fire. I watched Tsuneo, as he tended to the fire, and I couldn't help but feel the weight of everything pressing down on us. Pyra stirred within me, her presence faded to the back of my mind. It wasn't just the Convening that loomed-it was the uncertainty of how much control we truly had over our own lives now that we were tied to Tarofu and Pyra.
As I sat on the couch, I looked back to how we got here. It was strange, thinking back to the beginning, when we were strangers, deeply suspicious of each other, and now, we were united in ways neither of us could have predicted. It was a bit funny. With the Convening coming. everything felt more surreal. Pyra's odd silence unnerved me, and I had begun to wonder what exactly she was hiding. She didn't feel duplicitous. She didn't feel like a liar. If anything she seemed fearful, but I still wasn't sure what she was so worried about. I didn't want to admit it out loud, but there was a growing fear inside me-what if whatever she was so afraid of affected me irreparably? Death came to mind, or pure annihilation. Maybe she'd take over my body and I wouldn't be me anymore. The thought made my stomach twist.
I was fearful, but the fear felt a bit hollow. Like a part of me knew it was unfounded. In some ways... weren't we the same person?

"Thinking too hard?" Tsuneo asked.
"This not knowing is irritating. The fact that she's dead silent now, isn't making it better."
"I'll talk to Tarofu tonight," he said. "We need answers. I suggest you try to do the same. We can't go into the Convening blind, let alone beyond that
I nodded. "But Tsuneo... Are you assured that he's being honest with you?"
"What?"
"What if they don't tell us everything? What if they've already made up their minds, had some plan in the works?"
"If they've made up their minds to do... whatever it is. It would be best to figure out what the plant
