That thing should have known better than to underestimate you.

[ There's still a lot of questions but there's one she can't quite shake from her head. Why her? Why did this thing want to kill her so bad? Sure, Yoimiya is self-aware enough to know she has a penchant for trouble but wanting her dead is extreme. There's so much to unpack and she's sure Ajax has the same questions but for now, she just wants to appreciate the man who kept on fighting for her. With Ajax's tender love filling every crevice of her heart and soul, she stops sobbing as the last of her tears dry up. Finally, after that terrible ordeal, she can relax and melt into his hold. ]

From the bottom of my heart, I will always believe in you. Even when I was in that trance, I knew you would fight for me till the very end. So, I want to do my part. I promise I'll do my best to get stronger to fight by your side.
