Not a moment after Raven entered his room, Erika and Asmodia began explaining to him everything that had happened with Rowen. The man was now left inside the empty church, his mind devoid of memory. Laying by Tanya was her young child, whom he'd abandoned as well, but now laid a question–one that would determine the fate of the mother, the child, and the blank-slated father.
Fluttering her eyes open with a seeping pain through her skull, Tanya looked at Raven sitting by her feet before slowly turning her gaze across the many faces. Apart from the monster girls, even Amedith and Liliyana were present. They'd just arrived in time for the decision that would soon need to be made by Tanya herself.
Helping Tanya to sit upright, Raven pressed his lips together–unsure how things would go on from the moment she realized the situation that she was in. Letting her lean her back against the wall and just spend seconds resting, the mage finally decided to explain to her everything that had happened while she was dreaming.
To the surprise of everyone, nothing seemed to bother her. She didn't care for her husband almost killing her accidentally or the fact that he was now mentally blind. Even as Raven reached the end of his explanation not an ounce of worry was reflected on her face–instead what she had was a question, something she'd felt coming from a mile away.
"You want me to forget about him, don't you? Like he has forgotten about me?" Somehow, she knew what Erika and Asmodia had cooked up in their mind.
Even the devil was surprised at how easily she was accepting the bizarre. But seeing deeper into the broken woman, Asmodia noticed a flicker of disturbance, and not just any kind, but one that had her at the edge of her sanity.
'She's unstable, if we leave her like this, she'll go insane.' Linking their minds together, Asmodia let everyone present know exactly what she'd noticed. Which in turn urged Raven to quickly conclude the situation before it led anywhere unsavory.
"Yes, but not just you, everyone except us will forget about him. The goddess wants him to serve her church with no room for distraction," relaying Athenia's orders mixed in with Erika's plans, Raven reached for Tanya's shoulder and continued. "But that means you'll forget him and everything that binds you to him."
"Stay with me, okay?" Tanya begged, pulling Raven close and squeezing his hand against her chest.
Looking at Erika, Raven received a nod–assuring him that he could stay, even though it was better for everyone to leave the two alone.
"Just don't look at the light or try to peek into her memories, that might end up erasing some of your own as well..." Using Tanya as a channel to connect all minds but the party's through the help of her goddess, Erika muttered a spell that she was borrowing from Athenia. None of the words made sense to her, and neither did the runes she was inscribing on Tanya's palm.
It was a godly spell after all, and the goddess didn't want her priestess to be burdened with its power.
"Now close your eyes, else you wish to be blind..." And with that warning, a flash of golden light bloomed inside the room. It burned their skins, and their hair, and even made their clothes dry and crisp.
For Erika and Raven, it felt like nothing but a sunbath, however, as the light retreated Tanya was unconscious on the bed, having carried the burden of being a nexus for wiping out memories of her ex-husband.
"Goodbye Rowen, nothing of value was lost today," Erika whispered, and although unconscious, Tanya wholeheartedly would've agreed.
The rest of the night Raven spent it beside Tanya, and when she woke up in the morning she was greeted with a kiss.
