As Duster yanked the shadow back, she released her hold of the knife. But her hands were red and sticky, as was the dagger sticking out of Aoi's back. Both girls were wide-eyed in shock, but the one who seemed the most affected was perhaps his stabber. Her hands came to her face, white as a sheet, as she started to hyperventilate.
"No...no no no no...it wasn't supposed to be you...how many times does it have to be you instead of me?! Aaahhhhhh....AAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!
Akane, unable to see where the knife had gone, had nonetheless seen the small jerk of her brother's body, and her hands instinctively reached out for his shoulders. "What...Aoi...are you...?" Her gaze flicked to the side, wincing as her Calamity self started screaming hysterically.
Her mind buzzed with a numb haze. She'd stabbed him. Her other self had stabbed him. She couldn't even be sure if it was intentional or not. She'd only just barely acquired the White Mage job, but that didn't stop her from acting immediately. "Cure! Cure!" She'd cast it as often as she needed to in order to stop the bleeding. Why had this happened?! Why couldn't she just accept herself and get it over with?
