It was a dirty move, Luz knew that, but Ochako wasn't in her right mind. Additionally, and Luz wasn't proud of this, the hit to the face and words had stung. Without thinking about it, Luz felt retaliation in her feelings, and that was not something she liked to think about. Once it was done though, Luz felt less overwhelmed, and she could think properly.

This wasn't Ochako right now. This was this MONTH talking, taking friends and turning them against each other. Luna. Willow. Even Vira to an extent once. Luz had to remember this. Being hurt by her friends was what this place could manage, but it wasn't their real feelings.

"No witch was sent to hell. There's no place like that, and not for witches, certainly."

Luz said this quietly, and with slow purpose. She'd heard things like that in some religious circles, and in history, and knew in her heart that sometimes evil could take the form of "good" actions.

"Please don't me freeze you in place, Ochako-san. I don't want to do that."

She put a hand to her eye and winced, knowing that was going to leave a mark. How the HECK was she going to explain that to Lexi?!
