*Senri examines the weapons carefully. After looking carefully, her eyes lock onto the katana. It's elegant, dangerous. In her mind, it was a blade of rebellion. It resonated with her in all the right ways... Senri carefully picks up the katana, holding it in the way a Sengoku warrior would... Has she done this before, or has she just played too many video games? Regardless, she looked like a different person holding the katana. Her tired, timid expression was focused and determined*
I like this... I can keep this, right? If anything happens... I won't be alone. I'll have this to protect me...
*She snaps back to normal when she looks at Homura, however, putting the blade on the table in front of her gently*
...If you don't have strength, you're pretty vulnerable...
I told Knight-san I was in high school, in my third year... But, I'm actually 19. I've been held back for the last two years... High school is kind of a lions den. It's easy to attack someone for being an "otaku", a "weirdo" or being different... Now that I'm the oldest one in school though, other rumors appear... I'm usually so tired and down from everything I can't study... It's a battle. I think... If I could change the world, with strength, no one will be cruel to me anymore. And other people can be saved from the same fate. There shouldn't be labels... Just the power you hold within yourself. I would like a world like that... That's why I want to get stronger. And this can help me. It can help me... have a place to belong.
*She looks down at the katana, glancing at Gamma*
Rebellious spirit? Persona? Isn't that what this book talks about...? If I had that, I would be like you guys, right? That would definitely be great.
