Summary
The questions are normal enough. The officer's tone is perfunctory, clipped like a hedgerow, but that's not unusual among the bureaucracy. Citizens are processed first, swiftly, but then, the foreigners –
G'raha mislikes the tone. The way the woman's eye sweeps over Estelle as if she's importing pox on her furs. The way she says, "I suppose that is considered a valid calling in your native Eorzea," and means that in Sharlayan, it is certainly not.

Summary
It's an awful thing to feel born again. Is this what happens to Minfilia when she finds her way into another body? Maybe it always hurts. Maybe she feels burnt wherever the Light touches her too.
Or maybe that's just her own weakness, desperate for a conspirator.
The terror and joy of becoming a new person.

Summary
Maybe the curse will stay with Raha for the rest of his life, until it kills him.
But if there is anything divine working for good in this world, maybe it will be left here, fallen like a coin out of a hole in his pocket. Maybe he will forget the curse along with their language and their songs and their stories.
Maybe her son will be free of it in the simple act of being gone.
G'raha Tia, before Sharlayan.

Prompt: Tepid [Exarch/WOL]
To dream that his future could be anything else is to invite unimaginable ruin. If his heart stumbles now, he may as well find a canister of Black Rose somewhere in his storerooms and administer the fatal dose himself.
