[ He cuts himself off -- or rather, he is cut off -- when she takes hold of his face. Shen Qingqiu has the thought of how he could fill his hand with spiritual energy and slam it into Pyra's chest, but he inwardly flinches at the idea.
It's an unfortunate thing that he still has such a poor opinion of himself that he sees her actions as being righteous given what he knows. His eyebrows lift at the idea tha the's not very good at being villainous. It just wouldn't end well for me. Striking a heroine ends with the person being hit harder in retaliation.

Certainly, Pyra has some interesting ideas about this humble person. [ He flexes his fingers -- of the hand that was slammed into the pew. They still feel a little numb and he's certain he'll have to spend time healing whatever's been done, but he places all that on the backburner. ]
Is it awful that I must suffer? All the suffering that happens is my own doing, so it's only karma coming back around.

It actually would be rather easy. But to bring everyone down... they'd all just get back up again and I'd rather not worry about it. [ Shen Qingqiu voices an earlier thought to her with a half-smile. ] But I suppose if I really wanted to try that it'd be something...
But I'd have to give up a few things I deem important. To wish to destroy everyone... I have to give up something that I love. I'm afraid I can't play the Monkey's Paw with you for that one.
