... I asked the Malnosso to help me. Even they said it wasn't possible for them to find a way to fix it in time. [ She tenses at this admission, lacing her hands together- doing that had cost her a lot of pride... revealing it to others, even more so. Maybe she would have beforehand if it could have helped, but she didn't specifically because she didn't want the other woman to give up. Now, however, it's a moot point. ]

I don't want to try anything else. If this 'draft' means fighting to help protect everyone else trapped here, then I don't want to lose my chance by failing another attempt.
