↣ As Discord and the forced empathy from the dryad dream continued, Hayame had a very bad time with a demon and a god of war living rent free in her head ↣ For some time, she continued living mostly on Alenroux during the day (occasionally hanging awkwardly around other centaurs) and spending her nights roughing it on the outskirts of Springstar and Highstorm, struggling mostly alone with Discord coldness and her meat cravings ↣ She "attended" the Festival of Remembrance and Celebration of Cherishment largely as a passer-by or bystander, interacting briefly but largely brusquely with a few other shardbearers ↣ Alongside Liem Talbott, she took advantage of the number of people sent by Cyrus and Yima to search for the lost shard on Alenroux in order to fulfill her own curiosity and prove she could live there (hah) ↣ While temporarily separated from Liem, she encountered monsters and killed several, most notably while working with Rosaria and Vander ↣ After reuniting with Liem, they eventually stumbled upon the shard-monster in the northern wood ↣ They managed to slay it and retrieve the shard of Manon after a desperate, chaotic battle that left Liem dead and Hayame seriously wounded ↣ Though she barely managed to drag herself from the forest injured and blind, she collapsed at the border and would have died if not for being healed by Emet-Selch ↣ She "planted" Liem's shard at the Tree of Life and waited for him to revive ↣ Once they had discussed the events on Alenroux and come to a consensus, they approached Cyrus and reported the events on Alenroux before offering him Manon's shard (ostensibly to attempt to purify it) ↣ Still recovering from the physical exhaustion of the major healing spells used on her, she did not join the excursion against the Dryad ↣ Hayame finally harmonized with Meridian
