Akane, like so many others, uses Curaga to heal her wounds. Her brother seems to be taking measures to heal himself, easing her worries, and freeing her up to use her magic for something else...something that would definitely count as fighting dirty. But she's sworn to herself before she ever set foot in Pandaemonium that she would do whatever it takes to protect their worlds, and the people she loved.

Using Imitate, bolstered by her Crystal of Illusions, Akane no longer stood on the platform.

Kurma did.

She'd seen him at the meeting in January and when she had, knowing his ties to Garland, she'd been very careful to study his appearance and mannerisms. The imitation probably wasn't perfect, as she didn't know him nearly as well as Garland did, but the shocking sight alone might be enough to jar him and shake his resolve.

Akurma strode forward with a mix of anger and alarm. "You must stop this at once! There's no need to repeat these countless centuries of bloodshed and sacrifice. We have to fight for our future. Stand with me...with all of us!"

Whatever it took. Even if it meant breaking a tired old man's heart.
