There wasn’t anything that I know of. The Tower’s usually pretty safe, and even the one time someone broke in, they had a whole lockdown to deal with it. There was nothing like that before I woke up here.
[she hesitates for a long moment, like she's not sure what to say.]
I made a mistake. I had something important I needed to do. A task. I needed to destroy the Nightsong. But I failed to carry out my duty, and I was punished, and I did not survive.
Ohhh. I'm still getting used to the idea of gods or goddesses being able to communicate with people...
[ let alone punish them so directly. ]
Then there’s still a chance to make up for it. [ laurence isn’t usually an optimist, but even a small chance is better than imminent death. ] I hope she does forgive you when you get back.

I've seen some harsh punishments in the Tower, but nothing like that. This Nightsong thing must be pretty bad to go that far.

The war between Shar and her sister Selûne is as old as the dark itself, and because of me, Shar's cause was weakened irrevocably.

[ "as old as the dark itself" is a little beyond his comprehension right now. ]
There's no way you could fix it even if you did get a chance to go back?
no subject
[frowning...]
I might be able to. It's not out of the question. Even now, there are some signs that maybe she would forgive me.
