Green watched Talaga thrash violently. He could sense that her soul was incompatible with the Six-Winged Angel's body, triggering a fierce rejection reaction.
The girl was in terrible pain, yet she gritted her teeth and endured it with extraordinary willfulness. Yes, willfulness, not resilience. She was simply too stubborn to yield, pitting herself against the Six-Winged Angel's corpse.
