Cruz Dusti looked around the group that had been converted into a diamond statue version of themselves. Stuck in the last pose they had made before the smelting process as they called reached the final stage, the forging process.
Originally the smelting and forging processes were two different things however that lead to too many failures in the long run. This was a modified process where both smelting and the second step the forging were all done one after the other. Once the body had been processed and turned into nothing more than just a diamond like shell. It was within that shell that the extracted soul was forged into the weapon that the superiors that Cruz served desired.
Being in the back of the room did not exempt Kate and Lina now just a pair of twin statues. They were holding hands on their knees as their free hand just hung loosely at their side from being examined like everyone else around them.
