[Time to chat. If this were the courtyard where the mores soft-hearted members of their so-called team struggled to free the two of their number who'd been too coward to kill themselves instead of be used as pawns and bait, then perhaps she would talk. When she'd still been at their fringes, that is the job she'd taken upon herself- distraction. But ever since the beast that had been Estinien had come under more and more attacks-
It is she that had grown distracted. She isn't trying to buy time, anymore, she's trying to take out anyone who might be a thread in the skies. Which apparently included this man.]
I never asked for mercy!
[That snarled response comes out too harsh not to betray something painful had landed. Any single other jinba that she knew... Strong and yet gentle Matsukaze, gregarious Koume with her rounding belly, armless Kohibari yet determined and childlike, her trusted brother Yubari, even that demon Mikuni... Any one of them would have been more deserving of survival than her, the woman who had doomed her one chance at happiness and freedom because of her inability to believe in a future that was happy.
Any one of them would do a better job as the last jinba in the entire world. Worlds. And though she wanted desperately to believe that they were alive, that she could return and kill herself as she had promised to...
Estinien had kept her from turning her knife on her belly and her shard, in this place. And now-- This man looks at her arrogant and cruel, like he knows something more than just her name...
Hayame looses her next arrow at him without a moment's hesitation when he comes back into her line of fire.]
