[She shrugs a little, but there's a small grin all the same.]
It's alright. I know he's being taken care of so I'm not too worried about him, you know? But I miss him just like anybody else would. How are you? Things are starting to get a little intense around here.
So, um... Agni was in the Room of Req, and when he asked how to separate Blue from the house - he said he heard a voice that told him "to separate, all must gather". Do you have any idea whether that's true, and what it might mean if it is...? Because his idea was - not great.
He said that... He thought by all must gather, it means that we all have to die. Which - I mean, that doesn't make any sense, right? All we've been hearing is about how killing each other makes the house stronger, and how if we get underneath a certain number, we'd be fucked.
It's...complicated. That room is always designed to trick people despite usually being good at providing what people want. But if it doesn't benefit the house itself...it'll make something up. So it's about figuring out what is and isn't true from what Agni learned.
So... Part of what he saw and heard in there is true, but there's part that isn't, basically? Or there's at least something misleading about part of it?
More than likely. But figuring out which part it is is gonna be the tricky thing. It might be worth comparing notes and seeing if the dead have anything new to share before we start planning, but...I know that takes time.
You and me both. Killing everyone is definitely the last thing we need because then...who would be left to solve the problem? You have more resources here than you do over there anyway.

How are you holding up? I know that you and Phoenix were close.

Sorry, it's probably none of my business, but - why are you smiling?

Better than the alternative, isn't it? [There's a shrug.] ...it's the best we can do right now.

Can I ask you something kind of serious?

[Just!! A deep sigh of relief.]
Is it the reverse? Like - we have to bring everybody who's died back?

...Honestly, Iām just relieved that he was wrong.
