Erina's hand hovered in the air, reaching for the beautiful core which shimmered in her sight.
'If I accept this now, can I become powerful?'
The desire to change, to face Leonhardt face-to-face without feeling inferior, flooded her mind as she brushed against the smooth surface. "Ah?" The core throbbed... as if it were alive, beating like a heart.
'Can I fight like Asuka or Sylvie?'
That was what she wanted...
'To become like Zafira, a powerful woman!'
Her heart beat louder, faster as her mind began to fill with a deep sense of desire.
However, she still held doubts: would this be the right choice, and would she regret it after it was too late? Erina knew that Leonhardt enjoyed the process of breaking and bringing people to his side.
'If I choose to take this, will he abandon me?'
It was her deepest fear.
Exactly when it became her fear, she didn't know, 'I used to want to escape and run away from him.'
