...I think that it was likely a method we won't be able to replicate again, and that whoever used it was someone who wanted to do the right thing. We can't count on it, but we can be glad for it.

There's always a chance something new will come up instead. We just have to think and maybe the prism will listen.

[pura]

Maybe. Though the Prism isn't always keen on listening to what we truly want. [...] But if that miracle was really a once in a lifetime deal, then... What's gonna happen if the refracted make it out of their execution alive?

[rindude]

...what's the likelihood of that happening, you think? Especially if you guys think they are refracting by then.

[pura]

To get to that point, they will have already killed someone. What's stopping them from killing yet another person if they chose combat?

[rindude]

Nothing, but...I feel like the people who enter that area have been decent fighters. Even against people refracting.

[pura]

So you think the executioner will always win?

[rindude]

I think it's been a pretty proven pattern so far, but...even patterns have anomalies. There may be a time the executioner doesn't win, but I don't think that'll happen at this point if things go the way they have been.

[pura]

...

[She seems pretty doubtful of this, but she nods nonetheless.]

For our sake and yours, I hope you aren't mistaken about that, Riff-san.

[rindude]

That makes two of us. [sigh.] ...we just have to keep hoping for the best, whatever that might be. And be ready for whatever outcome we get.

[pura]

... It's really all we can do as soon as the execution starts, huh?

[rindude]

Unless we think of a better plan for the night before, yeah.
