GOD!!!!! how can you not get the realization that she was polishing Juri’s sword the whole time, that he’s so openly angry of and mocking and resentful at her, and not even float the idea that Ruka is a manifestation of all the parts of Juri that she wants to cut off and hide? That he’s not a symbol of her frustrations and her self-hatred and internal cruelties? HE EXISTS FOR THIS. (and I love it) He has always BEEN a part of her, and while Juri could never do this, he can, and he can do it while openly mocking Juri herself.
