While herbert Cuts The Water, Lapis is experiencing a bunch of unique sensations. She can't quite get her grip to work right after only a few seconds. She feels like she's holding tight, but, everything's getting hazy.

She's not winning.

She shouldn't have tried.

What use is a Lapis Lazuli that can't command water to even save herself?

Slowly, she lets go, lets her arms drop, ferocity drained from her body. And she nods, slow. She wants to breathe.
