For reasons unknown, Luna felt a sudden sense of lightness after admitting her defeat. The previous sense of oppression had vanished entirely.
Though she had a foreboding that her failure could bring her serious trouble, she couldn't help but wonder what she could do about it.
If the world was a ceaseless war, then, to understand her enemies, she was bound to risk being discerned herself.
Problems were mutual, once you initiated action, there wouldn't possibly exist an enemy that affected only himself, not one's own behavior.
When Luna failed, she realized at this point that she might fall into an awkward situation.
By then, it's probable that neither Belit nor Violet would readily believe her.
It was too late to understand this. All Luna could do was silently lament in her heart.
Reflecting on why she had the nerve to act as boldly as she did, now seemed utterly pointless.
Rather than that, she should think about what she should do next.
