Though Tear winced terribly when she felt her health being depleted yet again, she was still determined to keep her focus on the situation. Focused as she was, the wave of healing magic that washed over her caught her by surprise, prompting the melodist to briefly look up at Asch and nod in gratitude.

Then looking around and taking note of who was being healed as best she could, her In The Red ability continued strong as she took advantage of Dualcast again to cast Curaga upon Rukia and Santa. With another glance she also saw Johnny rushing toward their opponent, and hastily casted Curaga on him, too.

Which left her with only one action left. Breathing in, she mouthed a silent apology to her partner and anyone else who might think her foolish for opting out of continuing the song that would make her invincible. But with this many people hurt and putting in the effort to protect her and Akane, she couldn't sit back helplessly. So began Happiness In My Hand, increasing their defenses by half and hopefully providing some protection from any darkness that descended.
