It would be fun, but...

"That'd complicate things since we're the only ones with this meta-knowledge, and I don't want to go spreading it around even if anyone would believe us.  But it would be fun..."

"...Yeah.  It seems like it would lead to - interpersonal drama - when we turn on a dime, and...no unnecessary interpersonal drama."

"Oh, but I am still going to be In-Character.  It'd be fun if you are too..."  Lila pauses a moment, but without any hope of Alicia agreeing.  "But I suppose we'll just need to content ourselves with the fun of everyone's reaction when you suddenly aren't."

"I - expect that I will be somewhat in character no matter whether I take the compulsion which I'm not - but mmhmm.  ...What sort of things...are, In Character, for you...?"

"Well, I like to think I'm friendly, and everyone says I'm daring and kind when I'm not being stern - but it's not really what'll be In Character for me; it's what'll be In Character for the other me in this Villarosa story.  They say a bit about your character" (she points at the tag for "Spoiled Rotten") "but not much about mine.  Except she's the Heroine, so she's probably got something good about her."

The angel knows there's a lot more Lila isn't saying about herself - but she won't mention it now, either.

"Yes, that would be what is In Character for the canonical character you're reincarnating into.  I don't know what the worldbuilding team will come up with, but she'll be very different from you.  And also, she will have the No Compromise flaw."  The angel taps that tag.  "I believe you can work around that eventually, but it'll take some finesse, and I've never actually seen anyone do it."

"I am quite happy pushing the frontiers of magical research and leaving star-crossed romances to the Heroine, no matter the contrivances of Fate.

"Then again, it seems that that is more likely to invite Fate to take my reluctance as a challenge.  Regardless...

"I'd like to discuss 'Early Start'."

"What're you thinking about it?  It would give us more time to figure out the demon-summoning conspiracy, and manage social expectations... but then it'd be several years of having to put up with those social expectations before things start."

Lila meant to be saying that last line just for Alicia, but as she's saying it, she wonders what she herself would think of the social expectations around her just-barely-noble status.  She's heard the stories about Lady Charlotte back in her grandfather's time - it wouldn't be quite the same, but those stories aren't promising.

"No reason we couldn't root out some of the rot before it starts growing, you know.  Certainly I do not wish to judge others for pre-crime, but I think I'd also prefer to not compress my plot-relevance into a single season.  We're not showing on Netflix.

"...Excuse me.  Injoke."

"Anyway.  I'm - thinking that I want to give you an ally.  If I might.  If you'll observe 'Oh No, There's Two Of Them'..."

"Oh?  Sounds fun, if she would... be willing to work with me In-Character, but work together." 

"Are you thinking of a particular someone for us to reincarnate?"

"I - you could say that."

The angel nods.  "We can do that.  Who would it be?"

"...It's easier for me to show you, than to tell you."

The angel pokes with her finger in the air, once again readying a daemon-spell to search the multiverse for...

She looks questioningly at Alicia.  The Will of the Multiverse could read her mind, but she's not going to ask for that unless Alicia wants.

...She's going to reach out for the spell, no matter whether that action is legal or not, and steer it herself.  If that's alright.

(Given she's obviously trying, the angel launches the daemon-spell with a lemma to read Alicia's mind for what she's trying to indicate to it.  After all, the multiverse is too big for simple hand-gestures to search it.)

What Alicia is searching for, though, is both quite simple to specify, and nonetheless exceedingly complex.

There is a pattern that you can find, in both an Alicia sufficiently dedicated to its assembly, and elsewhere in the multiverse.

It is shaped like a shining sword.  It is shaped like Meti ten Ryo, who despises the sword-nature.  It is shaped like a craftswoman, who lavishes attention upon simple, well-used tools.

When Alicia named it, she named it Diana Pallas, and that is for whom she searches, in the great transfinite multiverse.

And —

— she —

— finds —

— her.

She's fighting demons, in what looks like it may as well be hell.

She is thrown into a galaxy far, far away, and picks herself up from the dust to try and make it better.

She builds strong bonds with even her enemies, offering them a chance and an open hand.
