Knife of Frozen Tears

Sylvan Crystal Knife

A small blunt-looking Sylvan-crystal knife that instantly kills Garret by exploiting one of his regeneration weaknesses.

Story so far

Ren produces a red-glinting crystal knife resembling a butter knife. It is not conventionally sharp or valuable, but its Sylvan crystal composition matches one of Garret's accumulated weaknesses.

She stabs the pet once in the side. Garret dies instantly and begins shrinking into his level-one reset form. The knife's broader damage behavior and fate after the act are not stated.

Appearance

A small translucent red-glinting crystal knife with a blunt butter-knife profile.

Role

The knife gives Ren a controlled way to reset Garret before transferring him to Carl.

Relationships

Tserendolgor — She uses the knife despite the emotional cost.
Garret — Sylvan crystal is one of his current lethal weaknesses.
Garret Rebirth — The instant kill triggers his reset.
Sylvan Crystal — This material supplies the weakness match.
