Manwol jerks out of the memory as soon as it ends, but the heat of those flames stays with her. Along with the fear in Maya's heart -- her despair, her anger at the injustice she'd had to endure and witness. ...It hits too close to home. Watching that girl, Espella, walk to her death. Feeling helpless to prevent it.
...It's a lot. It's more than what Manwol would have ever expected Maya to experience. The life of a ghost medium is not peaceful, but this is beyond channeling with the dead. This is trying to do the right thing even when it's the most painful thing to do. The memory fades but the sensation stays -- and Manwol, before Maya can run or react or say anything, immediately lets the words spill out]

I'm... pretty sure I did, yeah.
[ manwol... would understand, right? ]
