The Will to Save.
Without a doubt, what Tohsaka Rin felt toward Matou Sakura was the will to save her!
Therefore, it was impossible for her to strike a fatal blow against Matou Sakura. But fighting with all her strength, exhausting every possible means to free Matou Sakura from this state—that was the resolve the girl swiftly found within herself.
