[PQ+] [SE] tearing open the sky

Hotaru

Open up the gates, I feel close enough to heaven
To go, to stay, to leave, to pray

Part of the reason she remains in her shift is precisely because it’s easier to release those threads of human attachment and reluctance that might have otherwise made her hesitate. This shift in particular is armored in mind as well as body. There is nothing but the hunt now, and as her prey shrieks and thrashes she merely tightens her powerful jaw and thrashes in return to try and break or disorient.

Her only restraint in her animal form is the inability to target widely or indiscriminately. The Valkyrie retains enough human forethought to be aware of that, and to try to keep herself and her prey as confined to one space as possible so that her companions don’t risk catching her in the crossfire. If she needs to adjust her approach and shift back to utilize her weapons she’s sure Deimos will tell her if she doesn’t notice it herself.

Hotaru continues to attack Fox #3, thrashing it and waiting for her venom to work while keeping movement as minimal as possible to limit friendly fire risk.

But I guess they didn't like my confession
I know it's just a bad religion
