Half of her wanted to leap forward and say something obvious like [color=#3068FF][b]""You're a woman?!"[/b][/color] but her heart wasn't in it. Instead she gathered her thoughts before speaking, the flame of anger still burning away deep inside. [color=#3068FF][b]"Why did you let him use his power?"[/b][/color] She chose Japanese this time, as Decoy was the only one she could speak to in her native tongue. It was strange though, connecting this person with Decoy. The image she was used to was not present, replaced by something theoretically more solid. Before Decoy could speak, she spoke again. [color=#3068FF][b]"You knew, you knew and you let him use his power while he was with the Wards. We're supposed to be a force for good, and you decided his life was forfeit in every dimension but this one? Who are you to make that decision?"[/b][/color] It felt wrong to be questioning her teacher's authority, but she was pissed, and not quite thinking straight.
