I don't know what happened up at the top, I just made just the other Asiyah were okay after their bouts, so this is sort of second hand from Roland... after him and Argalia fought, it came out that Roland was some Color -- who'd have thought? -- and also they're related by marriage? Crazy. Anyway, you and him had some talk he didn't go into and you ended up releasing the Light we'd saved up through the "sacrifices" of others, which weren't sacrifices at all because they weren't dead just like, sleeping.
