Giving up was not Saint Orfan's style.
Ves may be more hesitant about this decision, but he ultimately chose to set aside his doubts and place his unconditional trust into the female ace pilot.
Although Saint Rosa Orfan possessed questionable judgment even in the best of times, this was ultimately a part of her personal struggle.
The conflict between Saint Orfan and the Middle Demon that originally inhabited just the Riot Mark III had been ongoing ever since they first bonded with each other.
The tainted Blood Pact forged between the two ensured that neither of them could rest unless they resolved their struggle.
The Prophet's Bane was strong and unquestionably hostile. The same strengths that turned the Riot Mark III into a powerful D-mech also threatened to subsume Saint Orfan's willpower and assimilate her soul!
Therefore, Ves would prefer not to witness a direct collision between the two forcibly merged partners.
