<span class="mu-s">"I was indeed passing through Cromwell before reaching this place, searching for the last Behelit that could finish the forging of the Sword Of Actuation, before it was stripped from my grasp. It is indeed worrying of this being the second Behelit that has found you."</span>
"I do not wish to sacrifice people, and if the idea eventually passes through my head, the last thing I want to stare at is the awakening eye of the storm as it consumes me." You take the Behelit out of your pouch and offer it to The Skull Knight, wishing to destroy any remaining possibilities of the God Hand seducing you with their powers.
<span class="mu-s">"It shall be granted. Remind yourself that while our desire to defeat them lives on, their manipulation of causality could turn your biggest assets into your worst hindrances.</span> He takes The Behelit and lets the steam of the hot teacup he holds hide away the face in the stone, as he threw it on the inside of his jaw, gulping it down with the drink the elder witch offered him.

"It is my final day on this realm, so I shall move according to their plans. But firstly, let me take care of Vlad, as his healing is the fastest out of all our tasks."
"I am ready to begin my soul healing, Miss Flora. I assume I can start training Astral Projection after we are finished?"
"Only if it all goes well. We have a secluded room for you to safely see your soul outside of your body without distractions, but I'd advise you to do this by yourself, unfortunately. Placing the talismans back onto the armor might take a considerable amount of time from me. Know only that whatever visions you have when being healed, no matter the pain you feel, that agony will not transfer to your physical body, so do not be afraid to comply with the ancient spirits."
