Tears began to roll down Amane's cheeks as she looked at Dianna with a broken expression. "And you know what? Even after everything he did for me, I still pushed him away."
She hurriedly wiped her tears before lifting her head again, and the pain in her eyes slowly gave way to resolve. "But now... now I know what I truly want. And now I know which side I choose."
With that, she unhooked the leash holding her spear and drove it into the ground, where it stood between them like a post she no longer meant to carry.
Then she began to remove her armor piece by piece, and once she was done she placed it before Dianna and looked straight at her.
"I don't care what the world says about me anymore. I refuse to remain a puppet in your hands. I will not fight for a woman whose greed knows no bounds."
