but baby i've been here before; i've seen this room and i've walked this floor
Flora’s scream tears through him like a blade, clean and bright and meant for someone else but cutting him anyway. Remi flinches—not away, but inward—his body tensing like a bow pulled to breaking. He feels her pain, not through any bond but through blood and memory, through ten thousand echoes of her laughter and a hundred times she’s leaned against him half-asleep on a boat or beach or barstool.
He wants to give her his strength. Gods, he wants to. But there’s a more immediate way to save her, and even if she’ll never forgive him for prioritizing the fight over her in this breath—
Turning sharply, with a snarl tight behind his teeth and Sunjata’s water still falling in droplets around them, Remi focuses past the blood and silk and pain. Past Dahlia’s grinning mouth and the impossible twist of space that’s brought her back to Flora’s side. He doesn’t aim for her hands. Or her face. Or even her body.
He goes deeper.
Magic coils in his fist, not bright but ancient, pulled from the marrow of his soul where love and rage live side by side. He steps once—just enough to close the gap—and punches, the blow not meant for skin or sinew but for whatever passes for a soul inside the Reaper. Not to kill, not yet. But to shove it loose, to stagger her the way Flora’s scream staggered him.
Get off her. The words aren’t spoken, but they crash through the bond to Ronin and Sunjata anyway, pulsing with all the fury Remi doesn’t have time to express aloud.
Remi uses his soul strike!
