Knight
#22 - Knight
She doesn't need him like that, she thinks, refusing him as he offers.
She doesn't need anymore people helping her – Eriol and Flym are already doing that, and everything will be gone when she's back home again.
She's strong enough to defend herself, everybody knows, when she stands head-to-head with the smiling banshee that is the Sorceress's apprentice.
She doesn't need to fall in love, Irvine says one day, even as she finally starts cracking under the pressure unbestknown to anyone but herself and her cluttered mind.
She doesn't need a knight to help her, she cries when Flym and Eriol are gone and the only one who's offered is now on the enemy's side.
She doesn't need anyone at all to break her all over again.
