[I mean, I have a PhD involving number theory associated to extradimensional physics, but tragically it has not conferred an expertise in SPACE MAGIC.]
Green saint, he is so soft. The Nirai do not exist to help people, nor does any other faction; they are made to sustain power, and to channel it. And if you channel power in a righteous cause--that will not absolve you, when your people break. Sasha knows this, it is the trap she could not escape save by leaving Naxarat.
Remi hasn't fucking got people. He has the mothlings; and he has her. In another universe, perhaps, he had no one at all.
"Sulen, we will want confirmation here." She waits for the telltale changing of their eyes--she doesn't look at Ione, it isn't safe--before she says, "Remi, we have information about another of your selves, in another future. We are going to ask about similarities to, or contact with, that person. Based on the information that we have thus far, I judge that you are not the same."
That, or he is the best liar she has ever encountered; but if so, it harms nothing, to appear to be fooled.
