I put the gem into my right palm, propped a pillow behind my neck for support, and moved into a comfortable position. I’ll just do this now and talk to Sera later, if I think it’s appropriate. Maybe I should grab Sera to watch me while I do this? But then I’d have to explain a lot of things to her. I sat down on my bed, leaning back against the wall. If I’m going to be out of it for several minutes, I should make myself comfortable. “Good.” He left with no further discussion, and I closed the door. “You should distance yourself from this whole affair as quickly as possible.” He paused, turning his head toward me as he began to walk out. I put the memory crystal down on my bed and opened the door for him to leave. I laughed as he slipped off the coat and hat, setting them down on the bed. He raised a hand, tipped my borrowed hat downward, and focused his eyes on mine. two now? Let me know if there’s something I can do to repay you.” I smiled brightly, accepting the gem as he handed it to me. This may be the single most amazing thing that has ever happened. did Jin just break into the Divinatory in a ridiculous disguise and steal that gem for me? There’s an after-hours return slot on the right side of the Divinatory. “You’ll be incapacitated for several minutes while you view the memory, so do it somewhere safe.” After I leave, put the crystal in your right palm and say ‘view.’” He took a deep breath, wiping off his forehead with his free hand. His face was covered in sweat and he was clearly out of breath, but lips were curled into a crooked grin. Two hours later, Jin returned, pulling a glowing green gemstone out of a pocket of my borrowed coat. I did a little bit of reading while I waited, but I was pretty distracted wondering what in the name of the goddess he was up to. The coat was a little bit too big for him, but not implausibly so. Jin selected a heavy winter coat, a tall hat, and an ordinary walking cane from my belongings, and then headed up to his room. Well, this should be interesting, at least. “I do, but nothing appropriate for what I have in mind.” “You don’t have your own civilian clothes?” I’m going to need to borrow a few things.” “Do you have some of your civilian clothing? Maybe a scarf or a coat that isn’t part of the standard uniform?” He nodded again, raising a hand to his lips.
