Raven pushed herself up when her Soul-Self returned to her body. Without even thinking, she began to draw Jono's physical pain into herself, not a healing, not yet at least, but dampening the pain of the transformation as much as she could. Her insides burned and her chest felt like she was being split open, but what hurt the most were the emotions, the fear and despair and awful disappointment, feelings that were as much hers as his.

She crept to his side. "Jono," she whispered. "Oh, Azar, I am sorry." She reached out to touch his arm.
