"But that isn't the case. A Singer's combat ability comes from two things: first, their experience in combat, and second, their mental resilience."
"Kohinata, your inner strength is more than enough. All you lack is combat experience, and there are shortcuts to gaining that sort of experience."
"In other words, you already have what you need to gain power."
Faced with Kohinata's questions, Fine began explaining her idea to Kohinata Miku.
"Power... what do I need to do, Miss Ryouko?"
Although she didn't quite understand some of the concepts, Kohinata Miku felt she would do anything if it meant gaining the power to help.
"...I can input all kinds of proven combat data into a Symphogear. With that, even someone who knows absolutely nothing about fighting can instantly become a warrior with a certain degree of combat skill."
"Of course, that comes at a price. Taking a shortcut means your mind and body will have to endure tremendous pain and discomfort, Kohinata. On top of that, you must maintain sufficient emotional intensity."
"But even after all that, your combat ability might still fall short of an ordinary Singer—someone like Little Tsubasa or Chris."
"So, Kohinata, let me ask you beforehand. Do you have a reason to obtain this power even if it means paying that price?"
After a long silence, Fine looked directly into Kohinata Miku's eyes, explaining further what help she could offer while pressing her for an answer.
After all, doing this right under Raye's nose posed a considerable risk for Fine as well. She had to confirm the other girl's resolve to avoid wasting her efforts.
"I... I don't know. Even now, I still can't accept it. I can't accept those terrifying battles Hibiki and Raye fight."
Confronted with Fine's question, Kohinata Miku pressed her lips together.
