The second day was quieter.
Not silent — the Hall of Remembrance hadn't been silent since the first crystal lit, and wouldn't be again for weeks if the tracing schedule held. But the raw, overwhelming emotional saturation of Day 1 had settled into something steadier. The Common Path still hummed with it. Eight million demons had felt seventeen elders swear Kael'shira in a single afternoon, had felt Tharvek's bond erupt after five millennia of silence, had felt the particular frequency of an ancient race discovering it had been lied to about its dead. That kind of resonance didn't fade overnight.
But demons were, at their core, practical beings. And there was work to do.
