Even if 7777 had suggested wiping Y128's memories of her entirely, Rita might have been tempted.
But modifying Y128's program so it would fight on behalf of her sworn enemy? That was something she would never do. That would be nothing short of humiliating it.
She had never regretted stealing Snowfield Pact from Y128. If Y128 were still carrying it right now, she would steal it again. She loved stealing that thing—she'd steal it for the rest of her life.
And if given the chance, she would kill Y128 without hesitation, or even control its corpse the way she controlled Black Jade. But she would never twist its will and force it to fight for her. That wasn't mercy. It was simply a line she refused to cross with someone who, strictly speaking, had never actually wronged her.
Sitting on her shoulder, 7777 swung its legs back and forth happily. "All right, I won't do it~"
Rita narrowed her eyes at it. "Was that… some kind of test?"
