Sharp canines dig in to her bottom lip in a useless attempt to stop them, but she fails, just like she's failed at so much else. Why won't they stop? A warrior doesn't cry, she must look pathetic, like a woman-]

[Stop fighting? She has broken one traitor and crushed another, and still... even if it removed them from a Zenith victory, they had already been removed from a Meridian one by their corruption. All she'd done is make it null. If it kept on like this--]
Who will do it if I do not? Zenith will win-
[Again. If they win more of the Oracles, they will try and remake the entire universe in their forsaken, collective image... and they won't try to save what still exists somewhere. It really will be gone, as Zenith preaches... all (partially) because of the weak-willed and the weak-bodied among Meridian that couldn't hold on to their principles.
All they had to do was stay in their faction, and they could not even do that?]
