"Blech. What do you like about it even..? You coulda filled that whole thing with kiwi juice but instead it's... why?" Miroru's nose scrunched, bunching up the freckles across the bridge of her nose. The ruffle relaxed her, at least. "... no, it's not. And yeah, I try to. I really do." Every word the truth. "I guess I can understand it? I like to play at being the hero with my friends. Or- y'know, did. When we didn't have training and missions and stuff. But it was sorta collaborative. I played the Dragon King and the Damsel just as often. It wasn't about -me- being the hero, it was about -us- sharing a story. I feel like..." Miroru thought about it quietly. "If I thought this was MY story... I'd be liable to do awful things to people, break their dreams and stuff, because I thought that was how the story had to go. And I know I gotta do that stuff as a shinobi, but I mean like... when it isn't necessary."Which was the crux of it. That's what bothered Miroru, clearly. She could have tried some other way of taking him out, could have surrendered herself, could have done any number of other things. Why had she chosen THAT route..? "Not... how is it not my fault..?" Miroru asked, not derisive, but... lost. "I could have taken the loss, let his refusal to lose give him the win. I won all my other fights. Heck, winning didn't even matter. But he kept..."She spoke quietly. "I was so mad. I felt like I'd shown him more than enough to prove I could take him down and he didn't recognize any of it, he just- kept going on and on telling me how I was..." Even now, his words hit her heart like a sledge hammer. "Sloppy. Unprepared, my techniques incomplete, just... breaking down all my hard work into nothing more than... a child's arrogant vision of competence. I don't mind being underestimated, but he-"She didn't really have words for how much it'd hurt to have him tearing apart her efforts the way he did. Or how scared she'd been in the moment that he might have been right. "... heh. I couldn't let him live there rent free if I wanted to," Miroru murmured drily. Cuz, you know. Occupado.
