Ryu stood frozen, not knowing what to do. His mind churned, looking for a solution. But, every avenue he thought of was instantly cut off by himself. Each seemed more impossible to execute than the last and would only result in Ailsa speeding toward her death even quicker.
Ryu managed to maintain his calm. Despite the turmoil his emotions were currently under, he knew well that they would only hinder him. What good were they if they only made his situation worse?
Ryu took deep breaths. There was less than 5% of the seal remaining, yet somehow this last small bit had closed itself off completely. No matter what angle Ryu used to approach it, he would be killing her.
To have such expertise, such a great level of understanding, yet to not be able to use it to help the people you most care about... what a terrible feeling, indeed.
