Summary
The hilt of Kris’ sword is slick with sweat. They tell themself that it’s only from exertion, and adjust their grip. This will be easy. They’ve already done it once before – the soul made them do it in that video game. They’ve done it once before, so they can do it again. This is barely any different. The others won’t understand it just yet, but this is for their own good, really.
(They know that they can’t look away this time, though. In order to hurt a monster, you need real intent to harm. Everyone knows that.)
