[Look at them all. Look at them! There are grown-ups here, there are fighters, there are people she knows for absolute certain are far too clever and cautious to go chasing off into the woods after insects, like dizzy children. It's a short-cut, it's a cheat, it's forcing people to play stupid because it would be too difficult to let them be smart. It deserves to be treated like the cheap shot it is. Mirei may know nothing else about whoever they're up against, but she now knows for certain they fight dirty.
[That's more than enough reason to want to bring them down.
[She feels it when the last of the vines give: she stumbles forward, thinking of nothing but putting as much distance between herself and the place she's been trapped as she can. Yes, Mirei stumbles; yes, she reaches out a hand to rest on Wendy's shoulder.]
