The experience I would stand to gain if I did this… It only makes sense after all, right? She's attacking me, I just need to defend myself!
Just one quick slice and…
And...
Erana's laughing face flashed across my mind.
Her smile.
Her laugh.
"Kenji-san!"
"Kenji-san…!"
The way she says my name when she's angry, or when she's happy.
How she scolds me when I do things she disagrees with, or when she gets happy when I praise her abilities.
How she gets drunk so easily, sometimes making me run home so the wind can make her hair flutter.
The kindness she's shown me so many times.
The night we looked at the stars. The day I awoke inside of the church, where Tael and Kany left, but she stayed by my side.
How could I...
When I looked at my reflection within the blue of my blade, I saw my face.
I'm crying.
