> "The ultimate magic? Ooh, is that your grimoire?" Marisa questions.
> "No. It's just a diluted form for less use like now." Alice clears her throat. "Anyways, what I was trying worked, but this is your mess to figure out now." She crosses her arms. "I'm not trying anything else with you if I can't trust you with these sorts of things."
> "You sure that's not a bit harsh?"
> "I gave proper warning with the information I knew of and even asked again just in case. And it's not... dead, from what I can tell. Just incapacitated. Or confused. Or maybe just lost. That phantom half will be fine eventually, I believe." Alice still sounds annoyed.

> You can do that with just a cut. It doesn't have to be anything deep. You probably wouldn't even need to draw blood. ...not that your phantom half can bleed.
