There are things to do, of course, besides being Aya's cuddle buddy. Prime is usually quite busy, and now is no exception. Just because he's personally out of mana, doesn't mean he's utterly useless. His plane's got mages in it, after all - and many of them owe him favors or are amenable to being paid. And they need mirrors, for communication. After longer than was strictly prudent spent comforting Aya, he bids her goodbye and goes to handle the less glamorous moments of being him. That is, talking to people, asking for favors, paying favors, persuading them to say yes, they'll use some of their precious magic stores to make mirrors.
Ironically enough, the one thing missing when he's finished is the mirrors themselves. Easy enough to fix, with Revelation. But he'll take care of it tomorrow - he's tired, and it's been a long and complicated and emotionally exhausting 'day,' even if he doesn't properly have them anymore. Sleep, and then he'll get back to dealing with it all. The mirrors, first, they're easiest, then continuing to figure out what to do about Aya.
When he wakes, he goes to talk to a demon about that. Knock, knock, calling Inferno, is Revelation in?

"Okay. To put it shortly, I'm - upset. For various reasons. And I would like it fixed, I'm not going to proclaim that the universe goes right back to where it was before. But I want a solution. Because I'm afraid that no matter what I do, I'm letting you down, because I - can't live up to disturbing love magic."

"And it bothers me that this is on the conspiracy necklace's terms, not - either of ours. I feel like we're being set up and there's nothing I can do about it. And I hate it."

"It's not your fault," he insists fervently. "It's - not you."

"If it had been anyone else you could have walked away," she murmurs, "you said."

"And probably felt horrible for the rest of my life," sighs Prime. "Justified, but also horrible."
