We've just heard from our friend Haltham about the fighting between Unhalad and Anurr forces nearby, so here's a question for everyone, brought up originally by our companions who got themselves drugged and fight-happy against the second living: what actions do you think we should or shouldn't take?
In Haltham's encouraging words, think wisely. Whatever we're doing or not doing has an effect by merit of choice. Also, a reminder that we still need to not end up in either's hands or revealing our location, given the reason we were summoned here has not changed, and our deaths can be a benefit to either side. Our lives benefit ourselves and our rescuers and the peoples here, by keeping us out of warlord hands.
( He's not opening up with his thoughts because he doesn't want it as a discussion against his take, but as people offering their thoughts after he asks the question. )

or a slightly drunker one
( He says the years don't match up, but that also doesn't... mean anything when Xiao Xingchen died before Wei Wuxian "revived." )
Ah, yes, possibly. It could be the object itself carried the means of it, whatever talisman or thralling, or it could be a medium through which something else was syphoning all these things.
( People touching that lake at night need to share the things they've seen. There are unseen links in this world, things none of them know right now, really. )
It kept those mermaids enthralled with it even after its destruction, but from how I heard it took time for the people we'd freed to recover, then I suspect something similar happened for them, even as twice-living.
