[ She's being played, is what's going on here. That's enough to give Haruka difficulty with her temper - but it's also enough to convince her she needs to watch herself, to know she's not trustworthy. To stand outside herself the way she stands outside others. To focus on the big picture.
And the big picture is that, although she hates the idea of giving some voice what it wants, Right is at a disadvantage if he doesn't understand what he's seeing. She doesn't want him dragged into things if they get this bad, but he is. She's the one who's been blind to reality.
Fine. The leader of the Divine Defense Force can't afford that kind of handicap.
Her voice is low again when she speaks, still glancing around. If she gives whatever's out there what it wants, it might try to take advantage of...whatever happens. She'll have to split her attention between it and Right. ] D'you ever have nightmares?
[ World Shaking rumbles in alarm. He's only picking up on emotions, but he recognizes this undercurrent of nervousness. It's what Trainer used to come to him with in the middle of the night. They used to run until the current subsided, and then she'd sleep on his back in the stable. World Shaking feels this without understanding it.
Except that it's bad, and he does not like it, not one single bit. He can't put any of that into words, but he knows this feeling. And it's awful. ]
