[...What a contradictory person. He knows he's done wrong. He knows he should be cursed a thousandfold by others all over. Yet he persists and keeps going, wouldn't permit himself the luxury of stopping. Hah... Is this what the Martyrs have in common?
But whatever his tenacity, his combat experience, and his masochism folly tell her are inconsequential right now, merely idle observations she may revisit during quiet moment sometimes in the future. For now, there's only a bruised and battered man on the ground with a whip mercilessly round around his neck, trying desperately to get it off the same way he struggles to simply find his footing on the cavern ground. Pitiful. ...And yet.
She saunters up to him in measured and unhurried steps, having loosened the whip just enough to let him talk if he really wants to. Back at the shrine and through the trip here, the soldiers were able to completely control them with these. She had no intention of using them this way when she first accepted the Hylician guards' offer, but now...
What's the point in holding back? She's done much, much worse. Accepted the Kenoma without caring about its objective or offer, because she understood immediately this is where the truly wicked belong. Besides, he's as good as asking for it anyway, isn't he? Wants to be punished, to suffer for whatever he's done?
Thus, the "test" continues.
GET ON YOUR KNEES.
She simply stares down at him with cold and emotionless blue eyes, as if observing a fly with its wings clipped. Well?]
