The eye is accursed. I do not know exactly how, but I have it examined by several of Meridian's magic users. The conclusion is that it is attuned to someone, I assume that demon, or perhaps his master, perhaps their master [Yima]. That it can be... viewed by them.

[She doesn't know exactly how. Was it a sense? Were they actually seeing through the eye forced into her skull? She doesn't-]

So it must come out.

[Before she goes insane, before she rips it out herself-]

Liem Talbott has my original eye.

[Is she not going to explain how that is????]

So I require a doctor in Springstar. One that is skilled enough to do that. An "ocular transplant".

But I cannot be seen to do it. The demon had me under surveillance before he attacked with his poison, and I was unable to detect him in the slightest, even though I was being most careful at the time.

[Because she was sneaking to the house of her hidden l- You know what, it doesn't matter. What matters is she has no idea how Sebastian tracked her. Or if he was still doing it or not.]

When I asked Liem Talbott who we might rely on to make inquiries on my behalf...

He recommended you.
