[This Emet-Selch, this "Ascian"... Hayame does not want to admit that she keeps her gaze from him not just because she is frantically memorizing the faces of the people who have been cemented as enemies in her mind, unsure of when this sick "dream" would end... but because... she cannot bear to look at him.
Because he had worn Matsukaze's face in her Innocence-ridled vision. And in that moment... he had committed a sin she could not forgive: turning the man, the only man, who had ever told her that her life was precious, that it could have meaning beyond service to her masters... into someone who would speak of the death of their worlds as something to be celebrated, who would give in to despair and sink into darkness instead of stand proud in the struggle for survival and dignity.
If she looks at him... She doesn't think she'll be able to stop herself from trying to wrap her hands around his neck. As long as she is looking at others...]
You expect me to believe you would carry the memories of the jinba into your lord's new world?
[Each word drips with doubt and disdain, her sharp canines clicking together with the force of how she has to grit her teeth.]
