No— [Her voice wavers in her reply, and secretly she curses herself for it.]
I'm fine. Let's get it over with.
[Gently she tugs her hand away from Quetz. With both she's able to pick and peel away the fresh scab to reveal raw and tender skin. Exposed just enough to bleed small a rivulets for this ritual. The thick sap-like nature of it means she has to curl her hand into a fist to form enough blood to drop, but it eventually makes its way to Quetzalcoatl's shard.
Loss leans heavily on this experience. Rolling in like waves to the shore. The gentle ebb and flow of the sea reveals meetings and partings. One farewell after another. Her sister given away, her father dead and her mother handicapped, her mother then perished not long after. How brilliantly she was dazzled by Saber only to have that shining light covered in the corrupt mud of the Grail. Following that death of Archer as he saved her, and then Rin's resolve to kill her sister—
But what do the individuals matter now? They're all gone. Ayako, Yukika, Makidera, that shitty priest—
What is Rin now, but a shitty mage clawing at whatever answer seems easiest? A simple soul all alone as it clings desperately to life? Loneliness is what lies deep within this ocean of memories. But as her tide pulls back Quetz will have what she wanted. The bright, dazzling warmth of Meridian that so aptly suits her.]
