Noah watched the little girl run off with the plants that the mermaid had given her. Whoever was wounded was probably hurt from the destruction of the village, but it wasn't much of a surprise.

"What you said earlier, about giving those people a choice and them choosing the wrong one. You of all people should understand that if they run away, and find another village, they will have to leave there too soon enough. Once you've gotten rid of all the villages, you'll get rid of the people and creatures. They know that. No place is safe from you monsters, so why would they not try to fight back right away?"

She turned her head to look down at the mermaid in the water with a blank expression. The woman was angry, and Noah knew she had every right to be. Getsus hadn't done much to the waters of the Dream Dimension yet, but the destruction on land was probably becoming a problem for all of the water creatures as well. The mermaid started yelling now about Noah thinking for herself. Thinking for myself? She blinked a couple of times as she thought about it. She'd never really thought for herself, at least not any time she could think of. Her life was always about following orders and doing what she was told. "I've never killed anyone before." She replied. It wasn't really a lie. People have died because of Getsus, but not once has Noah ever gotten blood on her sword. "And.." she stopped herself. It wasn't like she had much of a choice. She'd taken her missing fathers place and now she had to finish doing what he started. She looked down at the grass in front of her where the little girl had been sitting before. "I give them the choice to move and live a peaceful life just a little longer. That is better than nothing."
