Kota watched in confusion as his attack clashed with the reflection, but to no effect. Well, not any effect he felt made sense. Instead, it seemed like the dopple was just glitching into a myriad of colors. The kitsune was rather perplexed at this turn of events. Even as she malfunctioned, she still hurled her words at him. It came out as jumbled static.

[Color=#E6E8FA]“Some paths are meant to be walked alone. I don’t expect anyone to make the same sacrifices as me.”[/color] His golden eyes were firm on the color-shifting woman. The kitsune’s ears faced forward as all his instincts were focused on the dopple. A voice would graze his ears from behind, and he would quickly turn his head to find no one, following the ground rippling.

Kota would look down at the floor, his shortcomings replaying like a myriad of memories. Ones that he wanted to bury deep in the back of his mind. He clenched his fists tight as he watched in horror. His eyes looked to his right in horror as he watched countless Fae being razed by the pink-haired Eastern Empire general. The beast's body was implanted firmly into the bloodied dirt alongside Yukan, Griffin, and Okami. The next echo would show the fox running through the tunnels with a bomb in tow before a bright flash of fire encompassed the memory.

Blood began to drip from his palms onto the floor, causing even more ripples, leading to more memories. The Fox gritted his teeth, showing the prominent canine teeth as he watched. He let a lot of people down; he likely will let countless more people down in the future.

He’ll still press on no matter what.

[Color=#E6E8FA]“Be careful what you wish for.”[/color] There was a silent storm brewing within the martial artist. His eyes would flicker towards the deer woman, [Color=#E6E8FA]“Sometimes coming, heads up.”[/color] Kota raised his fists, prepared to prove his mettle to whoever dared to challenge him.
