it's fine to fake it 'till you make it
Safrin’s gaze lingered on the vial, the faint shimmer of Void-tainted blood reflecting in her eyes like a distorted constellation. For a moment she didn’t move, her expression unreadable—neither approving nor disapproving, but vast and distant, as if she were seeing beyond the vial, beyond the shrine, beyond even Caido itself. Then, slowly, she reached out. Her fingers didn’t touch the glass, but hovered just above it. The starlight around her flickered as though holding its breath. The blood inside the vial swirled languidly, tugged by the invisible gravity of her presence.
"A bold gamble," she murmured at last, though her voice had none of the sharpness it had held before. Instead, it was thoughtful. Heavy with calculation. "You are not wrong to want a further barrier. You are surrounded by sea, but the enemy does not come by sea alone."
Her eyes lifted to Flora’s, then shifted to Hadama’s. "You ask much. But you have both given much. Stolen pieces of the void. Broken ground on a cursed island. Risked your bodies and your names and, in some cases, your very souls." With a glance toward Flora, Safrin arches a brow. "Perhaps you ought to fill Hadama in on the remainder of your bargain with the Reaper?" With a final look between her devoted Tidebreaker and luminous queen, the goddess began to fade. Starlight pulled inward, collapsing like a dying star until only a shimmer of divine heat remained in the salt-tinged air—then even that was gone, leaving the shrine dimmer in her wake, and the sea hushed in reverence.
