(As you gaze upon the melting foe, her defeated Expression brings you satisfaction, one less obstacle out of the way, and one less monster to worry about... your exp and Love will soon increase. However, squinting your eyes, you begin to notice a shift in the monster's form, her body forcing itself to stay together and upright as your eyes widen in response. This one... didn't die in one strike like the others...)

(A sudden, blinding white light envelops your vision as you shut your eyes, a brief shockwave hitting you dead-on as you stumble backward toward the ground behind yourself. kneeling, you glance up as the white light fades, revealing that same monster, the one you thought you had slain prior. Your gaze meets the monster's eye, the heroine staring you down as you rise back to your feet. Something about her newly transformed state felt familiar, that look in her eye and the shape of a soul on the front of her armor... it became clear now, this monster... it possessed the same determination that you used up until now to persevere through anything that stood in your way.)

(As you regained your footing, the tension in the air grew by the second, the wind howling around you as the grip around your knife tightened. No matter if this monster matches your determination and resolve, you will still prevail eventually, as you always have, right...? After a few more moments, the heroine spoke, a grin forming on her face.)
