Anise couldn't believe what she was watching. Her screaming died out as Sync began to crush Guy's already injured arms. At that point, she realized it. No matter how much she shouted, and no matter how much Guy himself willed it, he couldn't stand and he couldn't fight.

"Stop it," she pleaded, despite knowing it was no use. "Stop it!"
