You'll kill two other people on your own with no support? With a healer's skill set? Sometimes I forget how brash you are.

[She can't shake the uncertain feeling she has about those two; with no other spiritual means to guide her opinion, Caren only has her gut to go by. And they could easily be hiding darkness under those smiles.]

You were the one who said it made no difference if I planned to kill as a Reaper or not. As far as I am concerned, the circumstances should be no different for a player trying to safeguard his position in the game.

[It's earnest, and maybe that's why she can't quite look at him yet. Finally, expression unreadable, she turns back to face him.]

And if you make a mistake it'll be my neck on the block, too.

I've taken out more than two at a time before, you know...

[but in much different circumstances, and with a more powerful ability on his side. the reminder stings, a bit, and he has to glance away for the moment, only looking back when he catches her turning to face him again out of the corner of his eye.]

--I meant what I said about not wanting to force your hand, alright? If you're willing to help, I'll accept it, but I won't make you harm anyone. There's enough to do besides that.

That was a different time. You cannot confuse life in another place with your existence here. None of us are playing with the same rules anymore.

[Even within their first few days here, Anthy Himemiya had understood it. Caren has tried to understand it, too. Maybe that's the only way she can deal with the wound of her loss, the fact that so many of her actions in life have no meaning for her.

She moves closer to him, head high on her shoulders and determination keeping her tall.]

You would not be forcing my hand. This is something I must ultimately see through for myself, to hopefully know more with certainty.
