She managed to use the words with just a wee bit of difficulty. Taking the weapon from the floor, she left without realizing the battle that had occurred within her conscience.

Asrin watched the blue aura trail behind Asuna has she left. He has seen the battle rage inside her, but he was not sure what side she wanted to win. 'I still do not trust her motives.'

I may need to be there contain the monster that lurks in her will. If not I should be there to destroy it.'
