gratuitous violence; unnecessary, satisfying, heartbreaking
Later - providing this goes the way Remi hopes - Ronin will apologise, and apologise again for what happens next. He might never stop apologising, in fact, because gods know he wouldn't so much as lay a finger on his husband in any other context. But like a key fitting in a lock, as the Bastion makes his intentions all too clear, Dahlia's words whisper through his mind.
If anyone tries to cure you? Kill them outright.
There is no way but the hard way after that, and though Ronin can't back up any further against the counter, he can absolutely stop Remi from coming any closer. The three firebolts quiver for only a fraction of a second before the Knight lets them loose; he aims one towards Remi's shoulder to distract, to disarm, to dazzle. The other two, though, he aims right for his chest where the rose remains cradled, intent on destroying it entirely.
