"If she prefers it I am not aware of us having a reason to forbid her."

"Awww, how principled."

"If she were my citizen I wouldn't allow it but she's not."

Promise is pretty confused but continues to relay.

"Okay. Who wants to come with me to somewhere we can Gate from, just Anaander?"

"Wait, do we think we're sped up? Doesn't that tell us that we're definitely entangled? What else would be doing it?"

Cor peers out the nearest door and looks into the hallway. "I think we're sped up," he concludes.

"They're sped up, does that obviate the need for the test?"

"If they're sped up it'd be because they're entangled."

"He says if you're sped up it's because you're entangled."

"Okay. And to get unentangled, we have to forget his name?"

"Yes."

"Maybe he should change his name."

"I do not think that's possible."

"We could check whether we could resurrect fairies and whether it breaks entanglements and if so kill and raise you? But we haven't tried resurrecting anyone outside the local afterlife system yet."

"Is his grandmother dead, we could try her and see what happens."

"Yes, she is, how'd you know that -"

"The initial message mentioned alternate universe versions of you. I think you should avoid being too aware of any of the individual instances, though of course you know more than me about what level of information would prove dangerous."

"You are right and I would rather not. Okay. You can raise my grandmother if you'd like."

"What do you need to do that?" Cam asks Khemet.

"To have prepared True Resurrection, which I didn't. I guess I could try it with regular Resurrection since we'll have a body - how long ago did she die -"

"Measured in what, winters? Would've been twelve."

"That's fine, then. It still is possible that this'll fail and that it'd work fine with a True Resurrection."

"Should those of us who may also know her name be in a different room, or - what level of precaution is reasonable here -"

"Different room. No way to see or hear each other. Knowing the name of someone you've never interacted with shouldn't entangle them with you."
