[color=#36A1FF]"I suppose... you're right,"[/color] Robin acquiesced. [color=#36A1FF]"Not everyone I save is a good person. I could even be fighting evil to save evil. Neither Merlin nor Monarch are here to help me. But even so..."[/color] her voice trailed off. She raised up her bow, not to take aim, but to show it off to her opponent. [color=#36A1FF]"Even so, I believe in them."[/color][hr][i][center]~Memories from the Literature club~[/center]

[color=#36A1FF]"She looks so peaceful like that, doesn't she?"[/color]

Yuzu, Yuri and Ayaka were gathered around a table in their clubroom. They came back to celebrate after their second rescue mission, a close shave they barely got out of. Ayaka was fast asleep, her head resting inside the arms she'd folded over the table. Yuzu's comment was affectionate, but Yuri didn't give much of a reaction to it. He'd been strangely quiet ever since their victory.

"[color=7bcdc8]Do you think we did the right thing?[/color]" he asked Yuzu. She looked puzzled, blinking a bit.
[color=#36A1FF]"Huh? I... I think so, right? We saved those people and defeated the pageless..."[/color] she replied. 
"[color=7bcdc8]But... they were Yakuza. Should we really save bad people, if they're going to hurt others again later?[/color]" Yuri asked of Yuzu. She tried to fumble something out, but... 
[color=#36A1FF]"That's... I..."[/color] ...she couldn't give him an answer. Yuri gave Yuzu an apologetic smile. 
"[color=7bcdc8]Sorry, I shouldn't have asked that right? I think I'll go home early today. You should keep Ayaka some company, alright?[/color]"

Yuri left the club room, leaving just Yuzu and Ayaka. Up until then, the three of them had gotten along without issue, but now, Yuri seemed to be at odds with the rest. Their days afterwards continued as if nothing had happened, but Yuzu had felt a rift forming between them. One that had taken a long, long time to heal...

[color=#36A1FF][i]"Back then, I couldn't give you an answer, Yuri."[/i][/color] Robin thought to herself, never breaking eye contact with her adversary. [color=#36A1FF][i]"But now..."[/i][/color]

The girl opened her mouth to give her answer.

[color=#36A1FF]"No matter who it is... no matter what they've done... I'll use my bow to protect them! I'll save their lives so they have the chance to become a better person!"[/color]

Robin jumped backwards into the air, her increased athletics giving her enough height to land on top of the cubicle used as an entryway to the stairwell. She had a perch to look down at her opponent from. [color=#36A1FF]"If you're going to harm these people, then I'll stop you each and every time! En Garde!"[/color]

And with that, Robin fired her first shot at the juggler.
