A balancing act

Xander approached the Scales of Judgment and placed Leena's childhood diary on the left weighing plate. Now he was left with three other Objects of Remembrance: the rubber ball, the lost necklace, and the camera.

But before Xander could place a counterweight on the other plate, the voice from within stopped him.

"You may only choose one object to balance your companion's misery and suffering. There will be no second chances," the voice cautioned, forcing Xander to reconsider his choice.

The diary tipped the scales completely, weighing the left plate down like a rock. It symbolized the weight of Leena's suffering.

Xander realized that he had to choose carefully if he wanted to tip the scales in his favor. The problem however was that he could not test what object would be the best fit in this situation.
