Gwen sees her bullet disintegrate, not just miss, but be completely ineffectual against Yunalesca. Damn. But. But the Onion Knight seems to have the correct tactic, he's gotten past Yunalesca, and is attacking Garland, their real target. They need to keep Yunalesca off-balance, stop her from preventing him from completing their real goal. Maybe. Maybe if he keeps standing and Garland falls? Then they can stop all of this? But how are they supposed to do it?
Yunalesca's next attack is a shock, and Gwen barely has time to crouch back, throw up an arm in front of her face. She shrieks out loud as the snakes bite deep, more scared than anything else.
Gwen. Gwen, come on, you've gotta keep going.
She feels no change, just damage from the attack, her Ribbon ability has protected her again, but she doesn't realize how, tactically, not having the status is going to be her downfall. Her head shakes as she starts to stand again. No.
Gwen. You've got this, just stick to your plan.
They need to stop fighting each other. She needs to get to the Onion Knight, but what does she have left to help?
Gwen, I-
A surge of anger shoots through her, before that thought can finish. Her jaw grits, and she stands firmly. "No, you don't. No, you bloody don't, Jack Harkness, so don't you go saying it now! That's what you say to people when they're about to die. And nobody is dying today."
No compromise, no giving in. One didn't work, choose another. She raises the gunblade again, and, again, there is no lethal attack coming for Yunalesca, but another Status Bullet: Sleep.
