Stroking his hand along the top of the box, Seth desperately had to resist the urge to open it. He had heard the warnings, he understood the warnings. But... It was just so tantalising. What did an 'Untainted Tear' even look like? What made it untainted?
Actually... if the box stopped anything from getting into it as to not 'Taint' the 'Untainted' then how did they even know that it was the tear that was inside? What if she was just scamming him and telling him that was the case, and his system was just believing her. How did it know?
[Nothing can get in. Not energy nor matter. But the Untainted Tear produces a certain energy of its own, which gently leaks from the containment field. By scanning that leakage, we can detect the contents without ruining it.
We do not make such mistakes.]
