Beata rubbed her temples. Something had happened. Or rather, something hadn't happened. It was as if Rinze's meticulously manicured claws, which had stubbornly clawed their way back into her brain over the past few months, had finally relaxed, and she was free. She didn't know the reason for what had happened, but she thanked the gods for the mercy they had shown her. All this time, she had been extremely careful not to put the Cold One at risk. Of course, she wasn't going to kill the brainworm, but at least if something went wrong, there would now be less risk for her, for Giyun, and for the rest of Carneola.
