[ Thankfully there's no pressure being added on top of what already exists within Chizuru's heart. After all, when Jinx is putting it like that, it means there's basically no chance of disappointing the other here.
(But isn't it usually like this? Chizuru would be much harder on herself than anyone else would be on her, Jinx included. She's the only one who'd feel like she might have disappointed Jinx if she'd fail here.)
So she nods. ]
Alright, I'll-- I'll do my best!
[ There's still that stutter in her tone, but the girl does look determined to try here. Shooting the gun even together with Jinx was a little scary, but she's gathering all of her courage here as she turns back towards the targets, slowly raising the gun and doing her best to aim. Chizuru can feel her breath quickening a little from nerves and fear, but she moves her hand all the same. Putting it back on the trigger, just like it had been a moment ago, even if the feeling of Jinx's cold hand next to her own is missing now.
.. it does make it feel harder. Hard enough that Chizuru just stands there for a moment without pulling the trigger--
Until she breathes in and does it.
Her hand shakes though from all the nerves, which means that despite firing the toy gun, she's definitely missing the mark of the target. Not by a long shot, but-- it's definitely not a hit, and when Chizuru realises that as she lowers the gun, the expression on her face turns kind of bummed. ]
