[ Haruka nods, her own voice little more than a whisper. She'd be lying if she claimed these weren't the sorts of things she refuses to even think about, but that's not just a defense mechanism. Nothing will be gained by standing in place. That's how she lives. Being (potentially) peeled open like this is more annoying just because it's happening than for the content. ] I know.
[ The images shift. A shadow rises up over what's left of Union - a wall of water and a glimmering behemoth riding it, controlling it. The waves threaten to sweep everything away, so nothing is left of Union. Nothing marks anything once lived here.
The voice insists: ] {{You don't matter.}}
[ World Shaking shrinks against Haruka. Water. He thinks. Is that. Water. He doesn't like water. But blatantly borrowing her memories was all Haruka needed to confirm that whatever's pulling the strings is targeting her specifically, so she laughs. Once. Seeing the first fall of humanity really did affect her that much, didn't it? It really had shaken her confidence. Maybe even Yuuna'd sensed it - she's a good judge of character.
But Haruka's appreciative of others' support more than she knows, and she's a pain in the ass when people she doesn't like doubt her. "Nothing stops her" from talking back, huh? ] I'll be the judge of that.
[ Too bad there's still a wall of phantom water headed right for them. ]
