( What Mikazuki says catches her completely off guard and she looks back at the spirit holding her hand.
He isn't real? He doesn't exist? But how can something like that be possible? Her hand tightens anxiously in his. It's strange though. As uncomfortable as she feels, she still doesn't quite feel like she's in danger. There's still that familiar feeling to him that she can't put her finger on.
When he tells her not to say the name, she immediately understands why but it's too late. She knows it's too late. How many times had she said his name? Three times? A fourth? There's so much to think back on now and she keeps her mouth closed.
With her free hand, she reaches to touch his gently. )
Please, don't fight.
( Put your sword away, Hototogisu. Because as grateful as she knows, she knows that Mikazuki will stop at nothing to keep her safe. Hototogisu won't last. All the while, she also tries to subtly pull herself free from him. )
You helped me and kept me safe so I know... I know you aren't like the Revisionists.
( He can be reasoned with. Surely, he'll let her go. )
