A Stray Weed

[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.

And... perhaps... learn how to control void energy too, even if briefly. I mean, it'd be like learning how to fling about acid, but...

Don't hold your breath on that, Ken. I've had ten years to try to get used to Sol energy, and you saw what a mouthful of tea did to me.

Being part of a circuit is one thing, it's another to be the one taking the reigns of that kind of power.

I know, I know. But the thought is... interesting. You gotta admit that much at least.

Well of course. SolSavior itself unites the two energy sources together, after all, and we saw what the Sol Salvation did to Saturnia.

But on an individual level are just too diametrically contradictory.
