"How could you forget who you are," she stated blandly, quietly; detaching herself.
Renamon had nothing more to say. She knew Rika well enough to know that once the girl thought she was right she wouldn't see another way unless she was shown. And there was nothing here, nothing in this place that would show this memoryless... this changed--and here was the anger and watch it burn, for how dare they touch her--this changed Rika the truth.
Once again, once more, there was nothing Renamon could do.
She had failed.
It took everything she had left to turn away from Rika, to turn from her hope incarnate, the only thing she had faith in, but she forced herself to do it anyway. "I asked you once if you trusted me, Rika. It seems your answer has changed." Her voice cracked on the last word, causing a new flood of anger to flow through her. She stood silently, willing herself to move, to walk away. Every ounce of her replied no. She couldn't just walk away from Rika. Her hands clenched into fists and she shook--from the effort or the pain, she couldn't tell at this point.
There was nothing she could do more, except... "I'm sorry I failed you, Rika. I..." There weren't words to express what she meant correctly. "...I love you."
