Kaykay
Mhm.
Sakuya prepared to fight White Len once again, reaching down and slipping a knife out. She too tired of their constant beating around the bush, but she still didn't quite understand how she was to damage White Len so there had been no helping it. However, this time would be different. Not only her, but Flandre and Nanaya were on her side, so between the two of their destructive abilities it was almost certain at least one of them would be able to take her down.
Or at least, that was what she thought before finding a flash of steel shimmering before her eyes.
"..."
The maid was silent at first, letting Nanaya go on and on. Her rejection of illusions in pursuit of "how things should be" did inherently reject his very existence, didn't it? He wasn't supposed to be one who could roam on his own. She didn't know the details, but he was to be the other face of Tohno, not an entity that moved all on his own. Nanaya was, essentially, not much different from an illusion himself. However...
"Realistically speaking, I must say I personally prefer the taste of outcomes in which I come out on top," she spoke in a low voice. "Though I am a little disappointed. In myself, that is. After understanding the kind of person you are, I still left my back open to you. How shameful. But even still, I certainly may have rejected your very existence without thinking, yet simultaneously I began to appreciate your company to an extent. Murderer though you may be, I myself am one who serves a consumer of human blood. Perhaps our partnership was only natural. But rather than a servant like me becoming a murderer, I think a killer like you could be a real lady killer if you toned down the, well, killing. We're both just a step away from entering each other's preferred worlds, don't you think? Ah, but speaking of different worlds, do you remember what happened around when we first met?"

A sincere but small smile spread across her face, her eyes suddenly glowing red.
"Deflation World."
Sakuya's knives began to materialize all around them, surrounding the both of them from all sides. Compressed time caused knives past and future to materialize in the present, ensnaring the two of them in a prison of cold steel.
"I held back last time, but on the other hand you've got me compromised from the very beginning. Do you believe you can change the result with these new conditions? I will only warn you once, Shiki Nanaya. If it's sadness that makes you feel alive, then I must inform you that I will provide you the gift of a lifetime. If you are going to side with one who threatens the well-being of my mistress, then I will not hesitate to become the murderer you so desire."
Flandre in the meantime simply tilted her head like the confused child she appeared to be. Sakuya being surrounded by knives was hardly out of the ordinary, and the others' indirect ways of talking to each other made it impossible for her to decipher what they were talking about. To them it was a game of life and death fueled by their personal wishes, but for an outsider like the younger vampire it was nothing more than nonsense. All she understood was that she was a little uncomfortable at the moment, and she tagged along with Sakuya and the other boy to relieve that.
As White Len approached her, Flandre simply looked her way with a wide grin, not returning any courteous gestures.
"You want to get acquainted with me? That's a nice change, I like it! Let's get acquainted then! What game shall we play together? Oh, do you know the danmaku game by any chance? Mm, though before all that I suppose I should ask just to make sure."
She swung her arm, and what looked like a bent spear materialized in her hand. It was slightly curved in an S-shape with an upside-down heart at the tip. Compared to her older sister's flashy Gungnir composed of red energy it didn't look like much, but it was common knowledge that appearances weren't everything. Though among them only Sakuya had ever seen Remilia's own spear.
"You're not the one making me feel all tired, are you?"
