[Yukina lets out a breath she wasn't aware she was holding.

There is, of course, a chance that he could be lying. That he could be trying to get her to lower her weapon, so that he stands a better chance of taking her down and getting out of this unscathed. But even now, while she's at her worst, she wants to believe in the best in Light.

She leans down slowly - no sudden movements - and puts the chainsaw down to rest at her feet. As she straightens back up, she holds up her arms so that he can see she's got nothing in her hands.]

...thank you.

[She doesn't bother asking him to put away his scalpel. If he chooses to use it on her, that's what will happen - she'll just have to do her best to hold him off until she can get the chainsaw again.]

What I was told about this all stopping, if we could find the Prophets and kill them... it wasn't untrue. [It just wasn't the complete truth.] ...but if we do that... the people who have perished already will be lost forever. That's not... acceptable. Not at all.

[She pauses.]

...you were right, you know. About... expediting the violence being faster.
