On the ninety-eighth day of the mourning period, Shai succeeded in creating a soulstamp that replicated Ashravan's original soul with which he would have to be re-stamped each day. She snuck into his rooms and stamped him, waking him and restoring his mind. Ashravan allowed Shai to escape his rooms. Later he spoke with Gaotona and figured out, in the course of the conversation, what had been wrong with him.{{tes ref|98}} He then addressed the arbiters, laying to rest the rumors of his illness and promising to seek justice for his wife's murder. Buried in the stamp, however, were also certain triggers that Shai had added to help nudge Ashravan into becoming the emperor he had always dreamed of being, causing him in the next years to pore over his old journals and rediscover his old ideals.{{tes ref|101}}
