One. Two. Three.
Three times had she escaped from death.
One.
One close friend.
Two.
Two enemies.
Three.
Three Deaths.
It was all numbers. These numbers added to the big picture of Nanagi's life. In the twenty-four years of her life, never did she expect it all to come at her so quickly. Multiple times has she made a fool of herself, multiple times has she made a terrible mistake.
This was her chance to fix it all, to get things back to the way they should be.
Alone.
Only speak to the people she had already befriended and don't allow herself to get so close, prevent the same mistakes from happening. Focus on her Aether research only. With her research, she can help her friends she does have. Right?
Two blood samples.
Valen Stalhart and Kanako Moonweaver. The Void and pure Aether. Both cases were very specific and with each discovery, more possibilities were put on the table. It was hard to narrow everything down, would she actually be able to figure it all out?
The poor Raen has too much Aether and it'll eventually make her ill. The stoic Magitek Knight has a being of the Void, and it'll eventually consume him.
So much to do, such little time. The countdown until it all falls apart begins.
Five. Four. Three. Two. One.
Perhaps there is a way to make the countdown feel like it's going slower? Discover a way to make things not as rushed.
The Sharlayans had so much knowledge, but are too stubborn to share. Perhaps if they saw her accomplishments, they would help her? With the Sharlayans, the time she has increases.
But what if they get too close -- too curious? What if they put her research in jeopardy?
Then the time she did have is suddenly taken away, and she then has even less time to reach her goals.
