The Bright, The Bard and The Bird

Yuyui wanted to raise as many arguments for herself as she could, but she found none. The sheer degree of contradiction she felt between her heart and mind made her feel as if she was about to go insane.

At one point, she directed all that rage at Replicus.

Why wouldn't he just admit it? After getting rid of his curse, he could finally get more reliable combatants to his side, so now he was just trying to get rid of her, wasn't he?

But an opposing thought crashed against her rage almost immediately.

That wasn't fair. After what he had just admitted a few minutes ago, it was apparent that Replicus cared for Yuyui's emotions more than she had thought. He even exposed his vulnerable sentiments and gave her a choice.

Even though she was bound to his service, he was giving her the option of getting away from this world that she herself had said she wasn't fit for.

Argh!
