[ There's a moment when Yoimiya thinks that maybe, just maybe she convinced him. She stares at him, her eyes almost looking like bright, shimmering stars full of expectancy as she eagerly anticipates him telling her she can come along. But her hopes and desires are quickly extinguished by a simple word; but.
The light in her once excitable eyes begins to dim as he takes it a step further by involving Nahida in their affair. She glances back and forth between the two of them, feeling hurt that neither one of them thinks she has it in her. It's true, there's no feasible way she'll be able to stand up to Columbina, and she understands that Ajax and Nahida are doing this for her own safety... but there's something about the way both of them are shooting her down completely stings more than she'd like to admit. It makes her think that maybe Columbina is right, she really is just that weak and pathetic. She's so weak that she'll be nothing but a burden for Ajax. Maybe he's right too, she'll just hypnotized and used against him, maybe this time she'll throw her off some cliff, or maybe even control her to fight the love of her life.
And there's nothing she can do about it because she's just that weak. ]
... Okay.
[ It's clear that Yoimiya has completely lost her spark in this one-word response. If both her boyfriend and Archon don't think she's capable then well, that's that. She still wants to join the fight but doesn't seem like either one of them are willing to back down on their stance, and after that whole ordeal with Dottore, she doesn't have it in her to argue with either of them. ]
I'll... drop the subject, then.
[ Without another word, she disheartenedly pulls away from his hold, shifting her gaze toward the ground with only one thought floating through her mind;
If only she wasn't so weak, she might have been able to help. ]
