It's not the first time somebody has gouged out one of her eyes as a punishment.
Ione Sala will sit and hold a hand over the eye socket so she doesn't bleed out too much, and endure, and try not to think about healing her own eye, even though she can probably do that at least partially. The first time you do that, it sets the choice between channeling positive and negative energy permanently, and she suspects she will choose positive energy but she isn't sure and should think about sometime when she's not in pain.
Everything has changed.
People will still force her to let them read her mind, so there are a lot of things she should not think, must not think, about how everything has changed.
(Nethys is her god now -)
Not thinking that.
(What's Nethys's afterlife like?)
Not thinking that.
(She really, really, really wasn't looking forward to -)
Definitely not thinking that.
She wipes the smile hard off her face as soon as she notices that it's there.
