Finding out Tao was alive sent Gairma on an emotional roller coaster, and it was stronger than what Mana felt she could control, but she remained as strong as she could so Gairma couldn't potentially rampage.
Yes, but if he's alive, and my mother was rotted, then there's a chance my father is alive as well. We have to find Tao. That woman is probably just trying to kill you. Nearly everyone you have encountered has tried to, and she's no different. Mytho warriors fight mytho warriors, and that has never changed. If it was as important as she says it is, then why didn't she come and find us in Chayie? Gairma's tone quickly changed to anger, and Mana, for the first time in the past 3 months began to feel herself losing control, but she was using everything in her power to stop it. However, her sister's new desire to find her father was overpowering Mana's willpower.
