"What is up with you guys and being suicidal?" Tex muttered to me. I ignored him. This is what I was here for, I thought.
I went and took Aoi's hands. "Come on, Aoi. We can fight her."
"No, we can't! Don't you get it? I want to die! I'm not any good, there's nothing left in me but badness. You wouldn't understand."
I caught Tex's eye, hoping he wouldn't tell the others what I had asked him for, but flashed him a secret smile. "Trust me, I understand," I said. "Now sit down, take deep breaths. Okay, we're going to get rid of her, she's going to leave, and we'll have good old non-cheerful Aoi back. Just hang on, okay?"
"But what if she takes me over again?" she asked.
"Oy, we have several deities here, in case you hadn't noticed, we can handle it."
