“I only did what I could…” And it didn’t mean the Knight hadn’t tried to turn her. Chise was just glad the beaches and the like were gone… Still, she appreciated the praise.

She listened patiently to Loki’s explanation. Concise, detailed as usual. And with each sentence, the worry in her grew. She didn’t show him pity - he wouldn’t want that, but at the same time… “It wasn’t your fault.” She spoke on autopilot, honestly, so that none of her thoughts would be filtered. “Whatever you might have done, or not. But… I know that doesn’t make it right. Not being in control of yourself… it takes a toll on you.”

Chise herself had only had brief moments of that outside of Somnius, and she was still left with no answers. She couldn’t imagine what an extended incident, like with the Knight, would leave her feeling.
