She had time to meditate, to gather her power, while the boys were on the train. She kept an eye out for new clues to the bizarre situation in which they found themselves, but nothing happened she needed to worry about. Taako acquitted himself… well, like Taako. It was strange, how comforting she found his nonsense, even half-heard from the depths of her meditation. She felt a jolt of pleasant power when the staff absorbed the defeated Jenkins's wand, and stored it up for when Taako would need her next, or when she could find a way to free herself.
And eventually they were successful in acquiring the Oculus.
This time, though, outside of Taako's bag, she could see. And she saw that Lucretia had her own relic, her staff, with her. So why hadn't she destroyed that one? Was she—could it be that she was not, in fact, destroying them, but hiding them somewhere safe? Protecting the world from their dangers? Perhaps all was not lost - perhaps this was some kind of long game, maybe she was trying to do the right thing. Maybe something had happened to take these three and destroy their minds somehow, and Lucretia was trying to set it right?
She was afraid to hope. But she did.
