Yeah. I get that.

[She considers how to arrange her thoughts for a moment.]

In the world I come from, and I'm pretty sure the one Strange comes from, we've learned a lot from the remains of people who have died. I'd be shocked if no one in Thedas had ever tried it, but given the reach of the Chantry, I suspect it's been pretty secret. That said. Especially for people with anchor shards, there could be some upsides.

Assuming it's something Strange thinks would be practically useful, which I'd want to check with him before we even bring it up, I think the way you've got to approach it is around informed consent, yeah? The assumption is we don't do it unless someone freely says it's alright without any pressure. And I think for you, it sounds like the thing to be mindful of is not trying to like ... argue them out of their feelings or beliefs. Just because you see the logic of it doesn't mean everyone else needs to be convinced at any cost. Right?

[The question is a real prompt, Cosima studying Herian's face to try to gauge if she's made her point clearly.]
