Short summary: What if Shiori wasn’t comfortable thinking about Asuka’s Omega Drive?
Even though her girlfriend is forever linked to the supernatural Eclipse and her best friend is likely to stay involved as well (Kou has not said “yes” to Asuka’s offer but he also hasn’t said “no”), Shiori finds herself preferring to stay away. Because one time, when she went in with Kou to retrieve Asuka from her training, finding Asuka still coming back from her Omega Drive with the golden marks all up her arms and her face…
Although Shiori no longer remembers how those lines looked against her skin, the memory of how they felt is tattooed in her mind. The memory of the time when she could no longer contain the other being inside, contain their anger and pain and despair… That supernatural otherworldly glow that Asuka’s skin gains in her Omega Drive causes her a little fear and worry. She knows Asuka’s power is completely different, but at the same time… Is that much power really a good thing? Can it be safely controlled?
Shiori understands how important fighting to protect and continue her parents’ work is for Asuka. She knows Asuka fights partly to protect her too. But…
I just want you to be safe, Asuka…
