They're dead.
[Sabriel's voice comes out, far more emotional than her usual, carefully controlled tone, far grimmer than the bubbliness she'd faked while undercover. Instead, Sabriel sounds like she's on the edge of hysteria.]
They were dead the whole time- that was why the orb started draining me when I tried to sense them- it was blocking me but now I can't stop feeling it-

No spirits. Just the death.

But it sounds to me like you help people out.

[And that's a fact that's not easily forgotten by anyone who's had to fight the Dead.]
And using it for a good purpose doesn't make it safe.

[ He's seen it for himself a good handful of times now. ]
Comes down to being responsible with it, right?
