It is impossible to overlook that in nearly a decade, Madame de Fonce is the only one among us to have ever established a life for herself not utterly dependent on our present situation. Yours is reasonable concern, though I would note that it has been months since she made herself so plain on the matter— ( to petrana directly; to riftwatch, broadly, ) —and we have not yet had any further removals.

( the concern is valid; her point is, too. whatever decisions are being made, it does feel past the point of impulse; her own final decision still depends heavily on what information she gets to consider it. it reminds her, a little, of past rifter anxieties of a both broader and more particular kind, including the but consider what is actually happening around us push back.

but he is a preferable person to have those conversations with; she has more regard for his reason. )

To your point specifically, I seem an apt test case to pursue more evidence for or against Madame de Fonce’s conclusions, as Riftwatch loses little if I lack my anchor-shard. ( the clinical detachment of this assessment is matter of fact. ) I have some concerns, perhaps, about the nature of my work missing an arm particularly, but speaking to the matter of rifts— I have never done that, and regardless, will not in the future.
