"Resurrection..." At first, Jade just stared blankly, mulling over the voice's words in her mind again and again. Finally, she couldn't stop her eyes from filling with tears.
"I knew it. My Flora wouldn't die so easily."
"She's coming back…! This is wonderful, she's…"
"This is truly wonderful!"
Just as everyone was weeping with joy, the Tree of Life poured a bucket of cold water on their hopes. "However, life and death are set. To resurrect someone would mean defying the will of a world, and the conditions are exceedingly strict. If my master were to have some fortuitous encounter, perhaps her resurrection could be expedited.
But if she can only rely on slowly strengthening her soul by gathering its fragments, it could take a very, very long time."
