Lumi shook his head and denied the credit. "It wasn't me. You freed yourself. The moment you felt the Elite Guard's presence, you awakened on your own. I didn't do that."
"You did not." she agreed with him, but proposed a counterpoint. "You had been dismantling Wing operations throughout Mora. Every inch of their plans that you tore apart, every move you made against them… even if there is only the slightest chance that they dispatched that Elite Guard because of you, then you deserve my thanks. That malevolent presence is what let me awaken."
Maybe…
Lumi couldn't dismiss the connection. Whether the Elite Guard had been sent specifically because of him or whether it had been coincidental was something he genuinely didn't know. But the chain of events was what it was.
