There is no way of softening this. Coronabeth Tridentarius has already been radicalised.
Camilla Hect's opinion is that the whole Tridentarii stratagem was the initiative of Ianthe Tridentarius. Though I was taken in by the twins' swindle I am not taken in by this. Coronabeth Tridentarius has never been party to anything she did not want to do, and never successfully carried out a plan she didn't think up first.

Pyrrha's deep brown eyes really came from her dead best friend, and Camilla's clear grey eyes should have really been Palamedes's, and vice versa with his wintertime irises ...

"It was good," said Camilla, and her eyes closed. "It was good. We were happy."
"I don't let go," said Camilla. "It's my one thing."
