[...he takes a deep breath, calming and steadying.
Okay. Here goes.]
I think what you've found is the same kind of thing as Riley's cursed necklace, that caused trouble back in October. Did you run into her, while she had it on...? It wasn't good. But it was what made us all sing our feelings, and burst into flames, and try to be what we thought other people expected of us...
...until she died. Celeste killed her, so that Riley wouldn't suffer anymore...and then went out and killed more people, because she felt like she deserved to be punished.
Jewelry with a magic native to this place...magic that doesn't come from Mana...I don't trust it! I'm afraid that if you use this thing, it'll hurt you, and a lot of other monsters.

[He pauses here. He has to admit it, doesn't he?]
...I could be wrong. I dried your body out because I was afraid you would come back somewhere you didn't feel safe, or far away like I did, so I made the wrong call, and hurt you more.
I'm wrong, sometimes. I could be wrong about this. There's no way to know for sure, until it happens.
So...no matter what, I'll respect your decision. Whether you use it, or don't -- whether it works, or it doesn't...I'll be there, to help in whatever way you want.
