Upon returning to the Tower of Babel, Ravenna sought confirmation from Ansel once more regarding the matters of the game.
"So, neither you nor I… will intervene or bear responsibility for the operation of this game?"
"Of course," Ansel replied with a smile, "If Helen... ah, I mean Ravenna now, if you wish to attempt to manage the arrangements yourself, I wouldn't mind."
"No, I shall not interfere... with matters beyond my capability."
Ravenna responded calmly, "The management of a domain is far beyond my reach."
She was well aware that venturing into an entirely unknown realm would only invite disaster. How could she foolishly meddle in the affairs of a domain about which she knew absolutely nothing regarding its maintenance or operation?
Her inquiry stemmed from a concern that Ansel might forcefully impose the management of the domain upon her, even finding it peculiar that Ansel would think she harbored any intention to intervene.
