Yoimiya looks back at him but instead of eyes brimming with assurance, her gold irises are filled with worry and uncertainty. She's already seen the effect the monster had on him. As much as she wants to believe everything will be okay, it's impossible to brush away her concern for his safety. ]

I know... I know that this is our only option and I hate that we don't have any other choice. It feels like everything has been forced upon us and we aren't even allowed to forge our own path to defeat the monsters, nothing about this sits right with me.

[ There's a part of her that wishes to say more, to argue that surely there are other methods of defeating monsters, she doesn't want to believe that this is their only choice. But as fate has proved time and time again, there's no escaping their supposed destiny. Yoimiya just sighs and bites the inside of her mouth to prevent an argument from breaking out, she gives him one last pleading look before glancing down at their intertwined hands. This is Ajax's choice so she's not going to try to change his mind, all she can do is convey her feelings for him on the matter. ]

I'm just worried about you.
