[The excursion to Russia proved... eventful, just in all the wrong ways. Volya's uncle was dead, the poor boy himself went through hell at the hands of Lilica, and then there were the Lady's Good Men and Loni's group compounding the insanity. Still, the death toll could've been much, much worse. And SolSavior itself certainly helped kick butt out there, and stand up to enemies Mizuki knew she wouldn't have been able to otherwise.]
... Just how hard is it to have sane priorities in a situation like that?
I thought it was obvious, but between the Knights and Loni... I'm not so sure.

A the ery least though, at least Sarah's shown she has some standards.
Incidentally, how's your arm?
From:

[Ken... steps back a bit though, at the mention of the arm.]
Its... gonna be fine. Just have to ignore the ache for a while.
From:
no subject
And that's good to know about the arm. That was my fault... I should've known shifting control to you without suppressing the Abyss Sanction would've caused some feedback. It won't happen again.

You're not just wanting to do this due to some sort of "pain equals training" logic though, are you?

A point Dido brought up to me is like... what would ki - or the equivalent - be in other forms of life. But I think that whilst there's certainly different makeups - 'flavours' - as it were... there's some underlying elements that could be... commonly manipulated, as it were.
