"Are you all clear on the ritual?" Javir asked, looking around her office at the three young women who'd been affected by the Memory Snare.

The disc sat on Javir's desk, still sealed under its glass case.
"The ritual is simple," Javir continued. "We form a circle around the disc, each place a hand on it simultaneously, and acknowledge the memories we've seen. This should close the connection and end the effect."
"And you're certain this will work?" Melisa asked.
"As certain as I can be based on historical records," Javir replied. "The question is, are we ready to proceed? The longer we wait, the more chance of accidental touches and... privacy invasions."
Javir expected immediate agreement.
