Is it courage or faith To trust that there will be light, Always waiting behind Even the darkest of nights?
Somehow we'll be okay. Don't be afraid - I choose to believe I was made to become a sanctuary

The water surges up around the fur at her chest as another tide rolls in, washing over Ronin's shoes indeed. Her ears lift up slightly and she turns to face him better. The anger she felt moments prior, even as she reaches inward for it, grasping desperately for it, she knows that it's gone now. Dissipated, and all of the nasty, gnarled thoughts go with it.
I'm no soldier, she says gravely, there was no honor in what I did. I hunted people. People that... weren't that different from the Abandoned here, or even the Ascended... even telepathically, her voice becomes quiet, a whisper just above the waves, I'm not happy. Not with the choices I've made.
She steps closer to the shore, to Ronin, paws lifting above the water's surface with each stride. She comes to a halt in the sand beside him, towering over him as he sits there cross-legged. But there is no pride or danger; the beast that stands before him is broken. And she slowly lays down, resting her head in the sand beside his lap. I met Remi.
He told me to atone for what I've done to Hotaru, to her companion. A sigh heaves through her, shoulders shuddering with the motion as her head stirs slightly, But what about everyone else? From before Caido, from my past? People suffered because of me. I killed, maimed, tortured. And in the moment, I felt that it was right. I didn't feel anything for them. I believed they deserved it. Just the same as Hotaru. I wanted her to know the pain I've felt... I thought it would stop her, and I thought... killing the companion would have been better than killing her.
