the wounds are open and bleeding out
It was the strike at Amalia that jolted Ronin into action - finally. The monster whispered sweetly into his ear, the man choked and lashed out with his knife, and nothing was getting any better. Cringing away from the small, sorry body of the tiny girl, he nodded - and already the light within him grew fiercer, stronger. I told you, he said sadly. Close your eyes, this will be bright. But it will help, I hope.
How she would react to his supernova was quite beyond Ronin, given how he had previously seen her react to the power he wielded, but there was no other choice. They needed time and space, and for Amalia to be not stabbed, and so the Star unleashed the blast not a moment too soon. It blinded the area with starlight, hopefully driving the monsters back and soothing their injuries at the same time.
