It's different, this time, the transition into blind rage and then back again. It's different in that Ronin comes back from it, but also in that the cause comes from hurt rather than outrage.

The celestial blast of energy stays caged behind the dragon's teeth, but it's strong enough that it seems to ignite his entire throat with its white hot brilliance. And when it dies down again, so does the dragon in its entirety, until it's just Ronin panting on his hands and knees. He shoves himself roughly up within moments, though, swallowing hard.
"Too far," he grates to Remi, already starting for the trees that he might storm away into the woods. "Why do you always do that? You twist all the knives in me. It's not to help, it's just an excuse to be cruel."
