[ This is supposed to be calming, right? Soothing?! Ritsuka does not feel the least bit soothed! If anything, it's more like her stress levels have just multiplied tenfold!!
She takes a few deep breaths anyway, in the hopes that it will help. There's a thousand questions rattling around in her head, though most of them circle like sharks around a few large themes: what happened to you?--both after that priest stabbed him, and how he wound up here and everything related--and also, how much danger am I in? There's no Chaldea here, and one could argue that their agreement was void after his death(?). There's no Mash or any other Servant to step in, and even if he considers himself a bottom-tier mage, he still is one. What does she have? She doesn't even have the Mystic Code with the Gandr spell. Her best bet would be to run into a crowd and hope that there'd be no bystander effect.
In answer to that, she just has to cling to what both Da Vinci and Mash told her, about him being kind deep down. It's probably too late for the camaraderie she'd daydreamed about when she'd found out that Team A was being revived, but maybe they could at least have a truce? That'd be nice.
As much as she tries to drag out the burning, there still comes the inevitable moment where she feeds the last sprig of apple blossoms to the flames, and her hands are empty. Oh boy. Now is the inevitable next part. He's not the only one contemplating just bolting, but she doesn't know if that would mess things up. What if it breaks something bigger than just this?
...And not only that, she's never actually been someone to run from her problems. She takes a deep breath of the fragrant smoke, then hesitantly lifts her hands to him, palms out. Like this? Is this what she does?! ]
