Ren could not act right now anyway...
He possessed absolutely zero mana. He had completely drained his reserves navigating the sanctuary, performing runic therapy on his own pathways, and reinforcing the massive dome. Furthermore, resurrecting Laura was not a matter of simply pushing a burst of ether into her; it was an incredibly delicate surgical operation. It required meticulously purging the corruption from a half-consumed core first, then fixing its damage, and successfully concluding the intricate transmutation process demanded a system condition Ren simply did not possess tonight.
He began to whisper a promise that he would initiate the procedure the following morning.
But Selphira immediately beat him to it.
The ancient matriarch fell entirely silent upon hearing his words... And then she stood up.
The psychological shift was profoundly abrupt, almost shocking in its speed. One fleeting second she was collapsed on the marble floor, desperately clinging to the crystal statue and sobbing uncontrollably, and the very next instant she was firmly on her feet, efficiently wiping her tear-streaked face with water mana. Her legendary composure, forged over four centuries of brutal survival, settled perfectly back into place like a heavy, familiar mantle resting upon her shoulders.
"No," she stated with absolute finality, cutting Ren off before he could finish his sentence. "There is absolutely no logical necessity to rush this procedure."
"Grandmother Selphira, it is glaringly obvious that this situation is deeply affecting you, I can attempt the extraction tomorrow and..."
"And you absolutely will not do that." Her voice had completely reverted to its unyielding firmness, radiating the strict authority of a seasoned mentor, entirely shedding the fragile aura of a grieving mother.
"Listen to me closely... I am profoundly grateful for your willingness... I genuinely am. But there are infinitely larger priorities on the board right now." She tilted her chin sharply, specifically pointing toward the geographic coordinate in Yino where the monster was relentlessly scratching its way out of the star-prison. "We currently hold a four-day advantage against the corruption. If you willingly burn an entire operational day attempting to resurrect someone who, if we are being brutally honest, is not going to alter the overarching outcome of this war, it is a catastrophic misuse of our limited resources. Especially while your own system remains severely compromised."
Ren opened his mouth to formulate a protest, only to promptly snap it shut.
Because she was absolutely right... Her tactical arithmetic was flawless.
"It is more than enough comfort just knowing that you possess the capacity to heal her, and that you will eventually recover her at the proper moment," Selphira continued, her tone softening slightly now that she had definitively secured the point. "It does not have to be tomorrow... It absolutely does not have to happen this week... She will remain right here, perfectly preserved in the crystal, patiently waiting, exactly as she has waited for countless years buried in that dark ruin. A little more time changes absolutely nothing." She turned her eyes toward her granddaughter. "And I am absolutely certain Liora comprehends the logic as well..."
Liora gently pulled away from Ren’s embrace, carefully wiping the stray tears from her porcelain cheeks.
And with a remarkably stoic expression, she offered a firm nod.
