Chapter 10 Where Want Is Taught to Sit Still

So Amihan has fully crossed into Liraya's influence, and now the danger shifts from being taken to being changed.
Liraya doesn't control her by force. Instead, she nurtures Amihan's "want," letting her feel seen, chosen, and powerful. That's why everything in the court feels calm, beautiful, and welcoming, it's designed to make Amihan choose to stay.
The vision of Silawán and Maharlika appears because Amihan is emotionally open and untethered; her connection to him hasn't broken, and Liraya allows (or encourages) it to deepen Amihan's uncertainty. Confusion, not clarity, makes easier to shape.
So this chapter is about stillness, but not safety. Amihan is being imprisoned. She's being taught to want differently, and that's far more dangerous.
