Miki was right.  She couldn't simply keep Mana here forever.  For all she knew, the young woman was possessed of some great fate, the catalyst of some momentous event on the Loom that the Pattern Spiders attended to.  And if that were the case, she would be looked for, by Exalts of her own stripe, more of the Five-Score Fellowship.  Something had to be done about this conundrum, but the simple fact of the matter was that there was nothing that could be done in the immediate future.  Miki would have to make her plans in the long term, find a way over days and weeks to convince her to stay.
