The Healer's Light, Part One

Neve was stunned. 

The image of Aphria that she'd built up in her head over the course of this brief exchange had been broken in one short outburst. The angelic woman quickly regained her composure, however, looking away. 

"Unfortunately, I do not have the energy to engage my world's monsters any longer. If I was to try to assist you in fighting them, I fear I would only slow you down." 

[I've got a hard time believing that,] Neve thought as she looked at the lady's arms. [But, whatever.] 

Neve couldn't just drop the matter entirely, since the Floor Quest made it clear that she needed to convince Aphria somehow, but she could let it go for now. 

Now that she'd arrived at this Floor, there were preparations she needed to make. 

[I could spend some more time using {Reconstruction} before I keep going. With this being the last Floor, the monsters are probably going to be the most dangerous ones I've fought so far. I'll need to be ready.]
