[ She could repeat everything Midori said to her verbatim, when he had her pinned. Deceptive, sinister, bewitching, kind...just a torrent she couldn't push him off in time to avoid. How she could remember that Ranmaru had hesitated when she went down, and she'd lost sight of him after that. It must have been his intention for her to hear it all, you'll have to forgive Sara for her inexperience, Sou. She's never done this before. ]

She doesn't have time for any of those thoughts, because when Sou coughs, she springs forward, hand already catching his sleeve.]
