[She is small, and foolish, and just this side of useless, and has been paralyzed by all of that until now.
(There are things that are supposed to happen in throne rooms in places as awful and majestic as this there are some things that are just supposed to happen and none of them did - instead worse things happened, worse because she didn't know to expect them, couldn't expect them - Towa could have died and Minato could have hurt himself even worse and she couldn't even move - )
If they're heading into darkness... they'll need something Bright to show the way, won't they?]
I... it worked in the Well. It worked a little bit, at least.
[All of her body glows, not just her eyes. She still has the dark fabric hanging around her like a mantle, but it's pushed back over her shoulders, her cape flipped inside-out with it from where it lay underneath. She walks towards them, towards the void, carrying nothing but a book with a fancy bit of paperwork tucked into the middle -
And stops walking to roll her socks down, when she gets there, because more visible skin means more unfiltered light, right now.]
