| Raphael watched on, impassively, as the girl spazzed out.
"Obsidian... sounds like a name."
"Then it makes taking her all the more sweeter! Knowing that you've ruined two lives for the price of one! Do it! Take her! Open her up and yourself go! TAKE HER!"
"No. You know, hurting yourself won't make this reality any less real."
Raphael kneeled down next to Nika, closing his eyes and holding up his inex and middle fingers. A white-blue light played from his hand over Nika's head and arm.
"I was never quite as good a healer as a killer. Hopefully your headache will subside somewhat. The wounds should heal soon enough."
Standing up and holding his hand out, Raphael silently offered to help Nika up.
