There is always work to be done, and it will never be repaired. Anders is dimly aware of the fact he's been working at this building for very long and has made little progress, but Mercy is encouraging him onward and he'll try nonetheless. Giving up isn't something he can do.

What he's put together crumbles beneath his fingers and he rests his forehead in his hand for a moment, and the spirit with him rests a golden hand on his shoulder. He turns to her and the blue-ringed holes distort as they try to widen and shrink at the same time. The building in front of him becomes a little fuzzy and a little grey before Anders exhales heavily and turns back to it, picking up a stone and putting it in the newly formed gap. The building solidifies again and the spirit straightens to go gather more stones.

Anders pauses after the third stone is placed and looks around, expression vaguely puzzled. Something is off, but no demon is presenting itself and taunting him, no archdemons are roaring in the distance. After a moment, Anders shakes his head and goes back to work. It will come clear soon enough. For now, there is a building to repair.

In the meantime, an orange tabby threads its way between Atticus' legs before trotting off to the side, unseen by Anders or Mercy.
