"At least they didn't drown?"

"It's a warship, Sister."

"So what?"

Instead of answering, the eldest of the sisters showed a photo posted by one of the sailors on the Net — a view from the stern, an Orthodox prayer service is taking place on the helipad. The blood-red bracers on the sleeves of the priest and deacon are clearly visible.

""St. Vladimir's Monastery of the Russian Orthodox Church."" at a glance, the girl identified another "competitor". In the "mirror" clan, it was too often necessary to deal with the closest "neighbors" in the water area — and the clan children were taught conscientiously.

"I'm sure the special commissar of the NKVD clan was there too. However, they have a different profile..."

"Now it's clear why Mom is swearing. What about this one?" Miko waved her hands at the makeshift pyramids of monolith stones rising on the sand of the beach.

"Nothing. The fragments didn't remember anything. There is a response across the earth... but after the stones were stacked in this form, all the faint traces were mixed up."

"You can contact the contractor according to the documents!"

"...Absolutely not. We have nothing to do with it — "officially". They did not participate in the lifting of the monoliths, they did not hide their tracks... and we didn't know anything at all until we were asked to defuse the curse."

"But that's the truth!"

"Even more so. Without Yakoin, we still can't unwind this tangle: for sure, the contractor doesn't even know who put them up to arranging a dump of stone debris pulled out of the water in the form of a concept art object. And if we turn to Yakoin, our clan's small, honest business will be under supervision... You know in whose ears their lips are whispering."

"As if no one knows that!"

"Clans don't pry into each other's personal affairs unless they're given a reason, my naive little sister. And the contractors... Mom has already given the go-ahead to the Environmental Commission on Waters, they earned their money honestly. Whoever wants to, let them honestly find out from these worthy citizens everything they need... and Kagamimori just did their job — no less honestly and with dignity."

"But you can't just leave it like that..."

Don't you get it? The topic is closed. And stop messing around — there's still work to do!
