For Esther it was also a surprise that Airys disappeared a few centimeters after being thrown, so she stood for a moment watching for her return, calming her own breathing to withstand the intense pain in what before could be called a hand.
She backed toward the reddened bubble, never taking her eyes off it, stopping just below it. Trying to avoid looking at the remains of her hand, to focus on the target above her...
—It doesn't go down… —she muttered, looking at the bubble.

In all the times that Airys summoned Hojita, this was the first time that she focused all her energy on hurting someone. She was lucky not to be seriously injured by her own kamikaze attack and not disappear. Yes. She just lost control and ended up crossing who knows how many dimensional gaps, ending up on top of a bench in some public park that wasn't even there.
