A topic from AEG's L5R CCG Rules forum, copied for Oracle of the Void from a copy of the forum saved in October 2015, so pages it didn't save are missing. Players' names are left out; the rules officials are named. Rulings are as they stood on these dates; later rulings, the rulebooks and the Rules Archive may differ.

Voice of Experience:
Interrupt: After each time the action discards or shows any cards, you may give them +1FV. (Focused cards cannot gain this bonus.)
Kaiu Akemi, the Diplomat Battle: If Akemi is opposed, show a random card in the enemy leader's hand. You may discard a card with a higher Focus Value (from your hand) to discard the shown card.
I annouce Kaiu Akemi, then interrupt with voice of experience, my opponent shows me a 3 FV. At this point i want to discard a path of wisdom ( 3 FV ) wanting to use the Voice of experience interrupt to increase it to a 4 FV, but will that also increase my opponents cards FV as well since voice of experience last line refers to 'them'?

You make the choice "each time" cards are discarded or shown. If cards are discarded or shown simultaneously you make one choice for all cards in the group, and they all gain or do not gain the bonus. Your choice for one group of cards does not affect your options for other groups of cards.
