[ In a rare moment of silence, Yoimiya doesn't utter a single word as she listens to Ajax with her gaze focused on her arms hugging her knees, wanting nothing more than to give him the floor to talk. Despite everything that's happened, she knows Ajax isn't a monster. What transpired was out of character for him, never in a million years would he seriously consider killing her without the interference of an outside force. Tears spill out from her eyes at the confirmation her goldfish explosion started this whole mess. No matter what he says, she's fully convinced she's at fault. All because of that special attack she thought would be the key to impressing her boyfriend who lives for the thrill of battle.
She sharply inhales to prevent herself from breaking down with sobs right before his very eyes. Ajax is already feeling horrible about this ordeal and even though she's scared, the last thing she wants is to add to his troubles. This is her fault, after all. If only she wasn't so weak. If only she was strong enough to repel that evil entity, then they could go on to live a happy life together. She brings a hand to wipe away the tears falling out of her eyes while listening to Ajax pour his heart out with this explanation. Just like that, her suspicions are confirmed. An evil presence was urging him to kill her. The moment she stared into those cold blue eyes, she knew something was terribly wrong with him.
Throughout his explanation, Yoimiya doesn't say a word or make eye contact with him, too frightened and traumatized to go back to acting like everything is okay. It's only when she hears what sounds like him gasping for air that she lifts her head up to look at him, greeted with what is the most heartbreaking sight she's ever seen. Ajax's whole body is shaking out of control, he's forcing himself to take deep breaths in an attempt to prevent himself from having a breakdown. Seeing him in this state is an even more excruciating pain than having her throat sliced open.
It's a reminder that she's not the only victim of this disaster. Ajax is suffering just as much as she is, if not more. ]
Ajax...
[ Slowly, she finds the strength to rise from the hospital bed. These past few days without him were some of the most agonizing moments of her life, she's not about to let him suffer all alone when it's clear he's not solely at fault. She takes a deep breath, trembling as she walks closer and closer to the two men. Regrator sees what she's about to do and urges her to keep her distance, she tells him that it's fine, that she needs to do this for both of their sakes. ]
Please be careful, Miss Naganohara.
[ After some consideration, Pantalone relents, stepping away from the couple to allow them to look at each other without standing in their way. But he's still inside the room, keeping a watchful eye on Tartaglia on the chance he loses control again. Yoimiya swallows hard, trembling in fear but determined to reach out and delicately pull on his coat with her thumb and index finger. ]
Please don't shoulder all the blame. If it was the same entity that took control over me, then please don't feel bad. That horrible thing is so strong. I'm also just as much at fault, it's because I'm so weak and got us into this mess. I'm so sorry, Ajax. I wish I was stronger.
