[The stakes that don't manage to stick into Anna continue to whip and whirl around her in a tornado as she hits the ground. If she had a chance to run or leave peacefully it seems clear that's no long an option.
Only when she reaches for her sword does this change. The stakes all converge into one spot above her before forming into Ruby Rose once again. One boot lands on her elbow to prevent her from unsheathing her sword. The other lands on the ground at her side. Ruby stares down at her with grim determination. Both hands raised up and holding the massive energy scythe in her hands. The blade turned outward like a spear.
Before the words can process in her head she's already thrust the spear down at Anna's head.
Then... The words sink in. Hit her at her core. The part of her that was still Ruby Rose on the inside.
It's in that moment she relents just a little. Enough to stop the blade from going right through her friends head.
Not enough to stop her from piercing the eye though.
She just stares down. There's not confusion in her eye. It's still that blank, vacant look that's been there since she changed. But something that did get through to her. If only for a moment.]
CW: We're going into some eye injury from here on out. Some attempted murder too
