Kalki may have fallen, but it hardly meant that Tear would be letting her guard down—in fact, she becomes more tense as the crystal lay there beside its former owner, wanting to get further away from the object even with the distance and people already standing between her and it. Grimacing, she barely caught on when Ales made the suggestion for someone to fly down to search for the other Heroes. It was a sound idea, up until her partner volunteered himself for the task. "Ace..."

She couldn't stop him if he truly wanted to go through with the decision, and ultimately wouldn't try to, but she could at least allow her displeasure to be known with the way she spoke his name with mingled exasperation and trepidation. Sighing and acknowledging she'd done the best she could, there was nothing left for her to do but to accept Barkeep's offer to be Teleported away, secretly glad she wouldn't have to attempt the feat to get Akane and herself out given the state of her wounds, carefully adjusting her in her arms.

Watching the Heroes readying for whatever might be coming, the echoes of the vision that befell her months ago during the battle with Palitutu came to the forefront of her mind. Closing her eyes, she pushed the dreadful feelings away as best she could. "We need it... The fourth crystal. I know it feels dangerous, but we'll need it if only so one of the other Avatars allied with us... can use it."

Taking one last glance at the people around her, she took the extra time to look at her companions from Auldrant in particular, then lingered on her partner. "... We'll be waiting for your return, all right?"
