[ there is the vibes of them wincing because they would looooooove to say they're doing better, but the longer they think about it the more concerns they have. ]

... There's room for improvement. But—that's what the program is all about! And now they have their own Guardian Angels, and more comforts to make their stay easier, s-so...!

[hextech]

[lol, lmao even] They have several weeks, correct? For now, they have time. [LOOKING AT THESE STATS IN THE FILES, THOUGH.] But they will struggle with their emotions over their reason. That is inescapable.

[holyspirits]

Eight weeks, I believe.

[ they are just saying it that way to be polite. it's eight weeks. ]

Overcoming that struggle is the purpose of the trial. And this much time will give them a chance to get in touch with their feelings. Don't you think?

[hextech]

[Thank you, even if saying eight weeks does not diminish how little time that is to get your shit together for redemption.] Therein lies the issue, I think.

[holyspirits]

The... issue?

[hextech]

The feelings. The emotions. [SORRY, HE'S BACK ON HIS BULLSHIT.] They're already having a hard time.

[holyspirits]

They aren't an issue, though. [ said very gently. ] They're just something that they need to reflect on and learn to navigate. And they have guidance, now, to help them with that.

Discarding feelings isn't the answer for anyone.

[hextech]

[Stop trying to fix him!!!!! Thankfully, even if he DISAGREES, he is less inclined to devolve it into an argument. So he just concedes with:] We will see. [The doubt is less in their view and more in the people on the other side.]

[holyspirits]

We will.

Us - and you, now. [ which they are still confused by. bro where did you COME FROM. but they sound welcoming anyway? ]

[hextech]

[The hexvoid........ probably. He glances at them at the inclusion in a mildly confused, but somehow human way. Unlike him. A Viktor peeking through.] Is that what you all tried to do today? For them.

[holyspirits]

[ well. you get the sense that they are closing their eyes. ]

That... is a very good question...

[hextech]

[That's what he thought... Looking at these files...] ...Our work is cut out for us.

[holyspirits]

It's up to the Guardian Angels on the other side more than us. We're more like... reinforcement! If needed!

[ they sound like they're saying that with a smile, though their own words do give them pause. ]

Or, we would like to be. The transportation between our side and theirs hasn't been working. Like the screens, only Kiraman hasn't been able to fix it.

[hextech]

They are going to need the reinforcements. [Just saying. He glanced at them curiously.] There was a connection between these places?

[holyspirits]

[ a light, somewhat nervous laugh. ] You're probably right.

... That's right. We were intended to stay on this side, but—in case of emergencies should have been able to leave.

[hextech]

[Hmm. Maybe they can work with that. Over time.] The avenue existing is sufficient even if it is closed now. I can assist them later. Do you know why it closed?

[holyspirits]

That makes me really glad you're here. [ even if. again. why the fuck are you here. ] Neither Mary or I are particularly good with that sort of thing, so...

[ they shake their head. ]

I'm not sure.

[hextech]

That's okay. We will find the anomaly as we work. [Hope they both die. Again? They die for good.] You remind me of Sky. A little.

[holyspirits]

[ this specific wording means nothing to them, so they nod! okay! yay! ♥ ]

Who's that? A friend?

[hextech]

[HELP. Assigns them medieval (no). Unless...?] She was our assistant.

[holyspirits]

Oh. [ they think about this. then brighten. not literally because they are already just a glowing silhouette but - you know what i mean. ]

I suppose I've always been an assistant of sorts! Or worked in service of others, at least.

[hextech]

[It's for the best they don't know he vaporized her accidentally........] She was our lab assistant. [Science and things.] Did you enjoy it? [The way it dawns on him he never bothered to ask Sky shit. It's fine.]

[holyspirits]

[ yes. probably don't tell them that. ]

I did. There are many things I'm not as good at as the rest of the sisters, so I've always been happy to help with what I can do instead. If it makes their work easier, that's enough for me.

[ they are curious, though. ]

You said "our" assistant?

[hextech]

Sisters...? [A NUN... Mother Peter....] Yes. Mine and my partner, Jayce. [Former partner...? He does not like the sound of that, so he refuses to say it.]

[holyspirits]

The other members of the Sisterhood.

[ a nun.....! ]

You mentioned that name when you first showed up. [ very hesitantly: ] You said that he came to end you.
