Phanes extends her hand towards Maya.
"Give me your hand."
Maya takes a step back. Ian locks eyes with Kyrie expressing the concern that the goddess might use Maya to really just release the souls. However, meeting a confident smile from Kyrie, Ian gets asserted that everything is alright.
So Ian pats Maya's hair. She lifts her head and gazes at Ian, visibly shaken by the need to make a choice.
She is scared. She has never seen death so up close. Although she is just a relic created to maintain an illusion, she has gained consciousness, so she is aware of the meaning of life and death.
Yet, she has never had so much faith overflowing within her. The wish to trust these people drives her steps, and before she even catches herself moving, she already places her hand on Phanes's.
