Before I even realised it, my entire purpose here had been exposed.
Targeting the Veiled Lamb's life...
"...Would that be a problem for you?"
"..."
This strange woman, who called herself the 'Veil's Gravetender', remained silent for a moment, appearing to take that time to consider something carefully.
Currently, I couldn't even move my body, let alone attack. If she said 'yes' and killed me right here, there wasn't anything I would be able to do to resist.
She didn't carry herself in a hostile manner, and all of my senses told me she was safe, but I only felt relief when she answered.
"―I suppose not. Under the condition that the Lamb's body still be used to repair the veil's rift"
'That... should be doable?'
If the Antagonist was also "From Beyond the Veil", that didn't necessarily mean repairing the veil itself would kill them, of course. It simply meant they wouldn't be able to cross over to this world... Which in fact might be an even better outcome.
