[Rikka doesn't move at all as the gust from the shattering Reflection buffets her and blows her hair back, out of her eyes. There are tears in her eyes, but she stands firm, not wanting to look away from what she's caused for even a moment. She just lowers her Love Heart Arrow to her side, and watches as Rosetta turns into an ice cube.
But she flinches hard when the ice shatters and ejects Alice, and with all the energy she can bring together she runs over to her fallen friend, more quickly this time, crouching to her knees in the sand to catch what Alice manages to say before she's knocked out. Rikka closes her eyes, and whispers something too quiet to hear. She stays there for a moment, before standing back up and shifting to face the others. When her wild hair clears from her eyes, there's a promise of pain in them. But she turns back to Cure Heart, and her expression softens as she starts toward her.]
Mana... please. That's enough. I don't want to hurt you, or anyone else, any more. Let's stop this...
[Her ears are open, listening for sudden thieves even as her vision starts to blacken around the edges. And she holds out her hand to her friend. Not close enough to take, but enough to make the meaning very, very clear.]
