She pretends that she is not awake.
Sleep has evaded her for the last month, and exhaustion has not touched her even once. Eirana knows that this has to be some sort of enchantment, but her efforts at searching for the spell or code that binds her are fruitless.
At least, this is what she wants to believe.
The truth is, every time she searches-looks deep within herself and probes the farthest recesses of her mind-she feels him, sees his black-cruel smiles and hears his voice taunting and mocking.
What’s wrong Eirana, don’t you know what this is? Don’t you know what to do? You don’t, right? All you know what to do is lie and deceive and pretend that you are good heart, but don’t you know? You’re rather terrible at heart, my dear.
She believes, she believes, because what do you trust if you cannot trust what is inside you?
And she knows that this is exactly what he wants.
