In this case it was Truth with a special Sion and Clare overlay which made it hilariously more punching in Riful's usual methodology even despite the empathy nulling.
I ... did not expect as many people to climb the cliffs as did climb them. A HALF AN HOUR'S CLIMB IS A LONG CLIMB OKAY. I was genuinely expecting most people to just mill around the base, stumble onto the entrance for the Eye, and either get Louvre'd into bad decisions or go down/up one of the cave paths instead to try and get to the Tower. Also I did not expect anyone to free SionJean enough to do anything in time for it to matter, so I expected them to actually go back up to Onyx as planned and as Sion ordered ... but then Sakura and Goku did, and so. (Also I kind of expected Gatekeeper to get bored and kill him, but their conversation didn't last long enough to trip the autokill switch.)
I had a gorish scene for most of them but the Tower got less and less distinct and more and more hazy/ephemeral as you went up so people would've had to work a bit to get to any of them past Sion's, since Riful really doesn't weight the others much in her mind at all and Hermana's representation was in the Woods part of Aather, past Priscilla. (Mikage was also there, ftr; they were the only Knights in her heart who weren't Sion or dead people but live animals instead, and they were both tinydragons and pests/pets for Survival, representing Riful's fondness and also instinctive, unconscious wariness about DRAGON THINGS.)
