Hajin stored the Legendary Chain before touching the exposed wrist, leaving his left palm bare for Collector's Grasp beneath the six Rings.
Six Rings continued turning around his right forearm, while Juna, Loccy, and the Watcher held the arm above the broken square.
"I need one touch," Hajin said. "After that, I change weapons before the route can use my hand."
The Watcher tightened her grip on the claw without looking away from Ash, who remained behind the inner boundary near the stair.
"Touch the route, not the child."
"That is the plan."
Hajin stepped beneath the wrist and pressed his bare left palm against the exposed black strand beneath the obsidian plate.
Collector's Grasp opened across his skin in dark-gold lines, then found the route's original frequency before the limb could close.
Pain entered his palm, traveled through the old tattoo path, and settled beneath the Resonance Wound in his shoulder beneath the route.
