During the Harbinger Oracle: (mostly already reported in event actions) 🏹 Once the Oracle did appear, she monitored cornerstones for a bit then raced for the effigy in the garden maze 🏹 After waking in the Iconoclast foyer she left with Akua, intending to work with her for a while, but oops teleportation 🏹 She ended up in a magical/physical puzzle trap with Dimitri, and they eventually disarmed it but she lost her eyepatch in the process 🏹 Though she was not pleased to encounter Rin, a Zenite she is on decent terms with... this is an Oracle, so she shot her in the shoulder before the other woman managed an escape 🏹 Next she encountered Childe and got into an immediate mutual injury archery shoot off with him until the maze separated them 🏹 She then ended up with a word-based trap with Yuri, who had to help her solve it because she was stumped, which eventually outed her illiteracy to him and inspired potential lessons in the future 🏹 After going through the Long Hallway and choosing the familiar door, she was stricken with heartache and briefly collapsed into Shez 🏹 An Indiana Jones-style boulder trap meant Hayame had to swallow her pride and let Claude ride her so they could barely outrun it and jump over a huge pit... which ended up giving her a romance realization/breakthrough while kissing him on the floor oops 🏹 In the Hunger Room she was temporarily waylaid into conflicted makeouts with Akua but focus won out and they eventually managed to leave 🏹 Though she was destroying supplies whenever she found them, she did share hers with Meridians in need, such as Byleth 🏹 A temporary distraction in the form of void!orphan students could have turned deadly but for Nebula's interference, which allowed her to survive and they defeated the shadows 🏹 Predictably, running into Voryn almost resulted in violence until Silco suddenly showed up... and they teamed up to dissipate him, though his shard bounced away into a hole (onto Quetz eventually), robbing them of the chance to shatter him grrr 🏹 When trapped in the Offering Room with Set, Hayame cut off her beautiful mane for the effigy, a symbol of the femininity she has finally just begun to accept, the method through which she worships the god of war via combing her violences from her hair to his, and a poignant part of the intimacies she shares with her (no longer?) secret lover 🏹 Finally, void!possessed Fane attempted to kill her, but she fought back to eventually neutralize him... and though she hesitated to touch his shard to the effigy, not knowing if what he did accomplish before being possessed would count positively or the end result would count negatively, she eventually touched his shard to the effigy after hers 🏹 She then emerged from the Oracle labyrinth to find that Meridian had won... but um... why are her neighbors in Alenroux looking at her like that?????? P- People are actually being nice to her? She's being praised? What's happening?
