You aren't normally given to second-guessing yourself, but you have to admit (if only in the privacy of your own head) that you fucked up. You were in an area you weren't prepared for, and you'd be willing to bet you were relying on Kuviu to do all the fighting, because you hate fighting. Your complacency has cost Kuviu something, and just because you don't really understand the cost doesn't mean it's small.
You would never question your own rationality in general, of course; you're perhaps the only rational person of your age you've ever met. Still... Ajact, who's an impulsive meathead, has transcended her mortal flesh and regained the ancestral gift of flight. You got your much more martially gifted friend killed. You have to fix this.
Your thoughts are interrupted by the realization that CL sent a new message some time ago.

CL: But all this means is that you need to become strong enough to retrieve your shade and Kuviu's body. He can still transcend by touching it.
CV: And his dreams?
CL: What about them?
CV: Transcendence means absorbing your dreaming self, doesn't it? What does a transcended player dream of?
CL: What a strange question! What has Kuviu been dreaming of to make you ask?
CV: Are you going to answer it?
CL: An, I'll ask AC. A moment.
CL: AC says "transcended => normal dreams, whatever those are."
CV: Thank you for your help.
