Still, if Gray intended to harm her without further intent she already would have done so: Caren's already determined that she is capable of great feats of violence but that her parameters for acting on them are strict.]
I fought with a powerful demon. [Her words are true, though the exact sequence of events is hidden within their ambiguity. In this case, to have fought with a powerful demon means to have fought alongside it. Though, in some regard, it had felt like fighting against him as well, against the Siren, against the limits imposed by her own body that threatened to lapse into the oblivion trying to shred it.] This is a consequence of my condition.
