[color=9a8c9a]"No, I think most people are beyond helping with words."[/color] Michi answered Hizuki’s rhetorical question. That would be all she could get in before Haruna continued. The paladin was clearly agitated, despite what Tsubomi had done for her. Though she was able to prevent herself from getting too worked up before continuing her lecture. The mention of her innermost desires caused Michi’s brow to raise, if only briefly. [color=9a8c9a]"Ah, you know my desires too. Of course."[/color] A lazy smile crept across her face. [color=9a8c9a]"It must be useful to be able to understand others so easily."[/color] She placed a hand on her chest. [color=9a8c9a]"I can see what other people do, regardless of where it happens, but reading their innermost feelings or understanding why they do something is beyond my ability. Yet at the same time it’s so uncouth, isn’t it? You’re constantly looking at people’s most guarded secrets, like a voyeur."[/color] The corners of her lips curled into a scowl. [color=9a8c9a]"But what have you actually done with your gift? Have you made anyone happier?"[/color] She took a step towards the edge of the stage, with her foot partially off the edge. [color=9a8c9a]"Do you even know what it is that I want to destroy?"[/color]

The maids continued to remain unmoving, occasionally giving hints to what they were dreaming.
