Lucielle looked completely stunned by the sudden power-up she had just received. The expression on her face made it obvious that even she hadn't expected something like this to happen. Honestly, I hadn't expected her to be the one benefiting from it instead of me either. Seeing everything play out like this caught me just as much by surprise as it had caught her. So this was probably what Lilith meant when she hinted that I'd have a much better chance of defeating her if I fucked Lucielle. She never actually said those exact words out loud, but it was close enough that putting the pieces together wasn't exactly difficult. Looking back on it now, the meaning behind her words felt a lot clearer than it did before.
