"Right."

She'd taken him at his word before, and he'd proven that his claim that he won't be harmed is true, at least. So she nods, taking a moment to collect her thoughts before she tries again. She calls to mind a memory from when she first arrived at Chaldea, before things had turned into a desperate struggle to save the world. A pleasant memory of budding friendship, but now powerfully tinged with bittersweet feelings of fondness, deep respect, and loss.

Of course, as an avid learner and practitioner of the local Dunamis emotion magic, there's little external sign of the emotions she's calling on, but hopefully that doesn't make a difference to what Mairon is hoping to test. So, Ritsuka focus on those feelings, friendship and curiosity, excitement and wonder at a new experience, nostalgia for a time when worries were fewer and smaller, grief for what has been lost. A veritable cocktail of emotions, but certainly all the stronger for it.

Holding those feelings in mind as best she can, Ritsuka hefts the blade to strike at Mairon again, still confident enough that she won't hurt him to not hold back.
