Tomoe tried to keep her calm as she walked through the water to Shinosuke. Even though invisible she noticed Naomi helping him and found herself actually smiling. Tomoe quietly took hold of Shin's legs to help Naomi carry him out of the water. While still holding her rifle it was an awkward hold but she had no intention of losing any of the weapons she carried. Dino was in the most immediate danger but she trusted him to get out of it. There was a part of her that wanted to see Dino near death simply so he would snap out of the state of indifference he had been in due to losing his wife.Originally Posted by Ikari
"You're not going to die, Shin. I won't allow it. Just keep pressure on your wound, okay?"
She tossed her rifle onto the bank of the canal when she was close enough and placed Shin's legs there soon afterward and turned to Naomi with the same smile.
"I...I'm proud of you, Naomi. You could have just let him die and you didn't. That takes strength." It occured to Tomoe that she got the same feeling from saving someone as she did with killing somone, only there was no slight feeling of guilt behind it.
She climbed back onto dry land and stood by to see what Dino's reaction to being attacked would be.
That was when she noticed the alien mask on Dino's face and gaped. "Dino..."
Tomoe left her rifle sitting on the edge of the canal bank and extended her sword. Attacking the mask held the chance that Dino would die but not attacking meant possibly inflicting Dino's fate on the others. She closed her eyes and opened them again after she made her decision. In the last mission she decided that her place in the team was to be the one to do the things that straddled or even crossed the line into evil like sacrificing teammates and friends to save a greater number of people. Tomoe decided that she would carry the burden of being the team monster.
"I'm sorry, Dino" Deciding that no matter what she was hellbound anyway Tomoe once more jumped back into the canal and tapped into the suit's strength to swing her sword directly at the mask on Dino's face. She apologized silently again as she attacked.
