Entry 31: 17 Poråkol 1865

The final entry is a letter from Salus to a younger daughter. It includes conlang content and some concluding remarks from the author.

Every few years, executions happen according to a humanized version of the old Sabaji Tveshi way. Salus watches from among the advisers.

Salus cannot describe the ceremony that made lim an adviser. However, le can describe the sacred text that inspired it — the oath-ritual the Karatha made thousands of years ago.

Salus goes to the Reclaimed Zone to see Sehutañi for the first time after the events of 28 Poråkol 1865.

The trial continues, this time with Liga's testimony — with the same questions asked over and over. Author's note: I was moving last week, and it was more complicated than expected! (A total ordeal, actually.) Apologies for missing a week. ~*^___^*~

Interplanetary politics has forced a real murder trial — which everyone in Tveshė knows is just a formality. Salus recounts some of Sehutañi's testimony.

Salus weaves in and out of a conversation with Karatau about the upcoming murder trial and Salus' safety.

Salus has a crash course in political marketing and learns what happened to Kelta.

Salus is thrust back into politics only a few days after ler awakening — this time, via a summons to the palace.

Salus awakens in the hospital after surgery and days spent drifting in and out of consciousness. The room is empty save for Liga.
