After discussing the possibility with Luci, it seems that it may be possible to trigger an early Awakening. However, the process is extremely dangerous and will require a few of those known as "Awakened" to be present. I presume their function is to act as damage control or, should things go awry, to act as messengers and relay the unfortunate results of this experiment.

I am not looking to be talked out of this, so do not waste your breath. Instead, I ask for volunteers to meet me tonight at the gardening club room. The chances of success will be greater with your assistance.

I really hope that I can believe you someday.

[because she certainly doesn't now, although from the way Reimi's eyes shine as she meets her companion's gaze it's clear that she desperately wants to. it would be so much easier to blind herself to what was being done here if she could accept a falsehood like that.]

It's hard to keep crying over the people you care about.

[Of course she didn't believe him, but would it have mattered if she did? It changed nothing, not as far as Kit could see. His mind was made up and he was going to see this decision through to its end...bitter or not.

He couldn't lie to himself, though. The idea that anyone might care so much as to shed a tear for him over anything was difficult to wrap his head around. And it made him feel almost heavy. Like a weight had been tied to his feet and he was struggling now to stay afloat.]

Don't cry, then. Save your tears for those who deserve them.

I already do.

[there were very few things that Kit didn't have control over when it came to their relationship, by virtue of its origin, but the way that she viewed him wasn't one of them. no matter how unbelievable it seemed to him, she would always hold him close to her heart as a valued friend. he was as worth of tears as Rohan or any of her fellow victims.

her fingers curl around the rose again, idly pulling it close to her chest like some strange security blanket. her gaze floats through the room, seeing but processing very little.]

...should we start?

[the waiting was beginning to weigh heavily even on Reimi now. and it's not like any of these other threads are going to go anywhere.]
