❝But I tell you, do not swear
an oath at all:
either by Heaven, for it is God’s throne;
or by the earth,
for it is His footstool;
or by Jerusalem, for it is the
city of the Great King.
And do not swear by your head,
for you cannot make even
one hair white
or black.
All you need to say is simply 'Yes' or 'No';
anything beyond this comes from
the evil one.
—Matthew 5:34-37

[Dehya stares at Sika. Long and hard.]

What about the casualties from your plan? Just because you can bring some back, the rest of them dying is okay?

[falsehymn]

Which casualties are you referring to?

[Dehya breathes out, though it's more of a huff with how tense she is.]

... Forget it. [She turns to go elsewhere in the room to one of the other contracted. What's confronting Sika going to do? As much as she wants to and it boils under her skin--she needs to put her focus on the troupe. She's heard what she's missing now. It reminds her what she can't afford to lose to being impulsive.]
