↣ When Meridian opened a Communion post to share details about Zenith, Hayame shared details about Sebastian Michaelis (as well as tried to claim him as hers to kill)
↣ During this, she fought with Voryn again, increasing her bitter feelings towards her own faction over the fact that most of them seem perfectly willing to overlook things like slavery and consorting with the enemy
↣ In Alenroux, she stumbled upon Claude's wyvern, and was shocked to find that he was capable of riding it into battle
↣ Like the other shard-bearers, Hayame was trapped in the strange future world of the post Blight world with a dead Tree of Life and the Iconoclast Oracle
↣ When everyone gathered in the ritual room, Hayame caught on to the fact that Set had made some sort of deal with Sebastian and Silco and confronted the demon about it, only to grow angrier and more insulted... until she snapped, took advantage of the lack of powers, and stabbed Sebastian in his left eye as revenge
↣ Akua's intervention may have saved Sebastian from her attempting to shatter his shard, but the damage had been done... Hayame now considers them even, but Sebastian decidedly does not
↣ Once the Iconoclast Oracle made clear the conditions and the stakes of their Harmonization, Hayame sought out Amos Burton to trade energies with, and in the aftermath she found herself lingering in his presence and accidentally thinking of what could be
↣ The dregs of Zenith energy that remained in her after this she traded to Rosaria
↣ Eventually, she angrily confronted Set about his deal with Sebastian and Silco, only for the war god to say they were friends???
↣ In the midst of all the confused Communion, she had a terse conversation with Cassian
↣ Having considered that some Meridian would be too weak-willed to resist Corruption, she agreed to protect Dextera when he came to her with his doubts
↣ When she encountered Byleth in the roots, she took a moment to awkwardly try to thank him for his support against Voryn in the Slavery Discourse
↣ Answering Set's call after he fought with Amos Burton, Hayame went to tend to the injured war god
↣ Watching for signs of Meridian betrayals, Hayame identified Jod and confronted him in a side tunnel... and crushed his skull when he refused to even attempt to prove he remained Meridian
↣ After suspecting he had been corrupted by Sebastian and Jod, Hayame confronted Liem Talbott about switching allegiances, demanding he return to Meridian... but he claimed to be unable and instead offered up his life without a fight- and she took it
↣ Her vow to protect Dextera was fulfilled when she answered his call for help and defended him from Corruption by Amos Burton
↣ Confronted by Claude after her kills and overwhelmed by the sincerity of his care for her felt through his shard, Hayame broke down in front of him (and then he kissed her????)
