>>5395352Shania, to be fair they literally warned you your actitude was going to end up hurting someone close to you.
In fact they might have been waiting for you to get close to someone just to attack her.
Now, a choice: you can one up Rin and break this loop, but it would requiere you to do the sacrifice he wasn't willing to make: disappear.
That's how you can protect them. That's how you can show you are better than your predecesor: make a single unselfish act. He couldn't do it, but I believe you may.
This act won't save them by itself. They might be doomed already. But it will prove at least the you are the better man that the one who hates you the most, and who is most likely behind all this.
