Neos is frightening like this. But right now, it's hard for Pandora to find enough of a reason to care. They know they shouldn't encourage this, but they just want something to happen, they want to be strong enough to have saved Zenith, they want Zenith back and it's their fault and they are shattered about it.

Beating things up won't fix it. But maybe, they think, it can get some of the feelings out of them and they won't feel like this anymore. "Fine. Are you finally going to get your sword fight or are we doing this with our fists?" Is that even what Neos is asking for? They're not sure; they are weaving a narrative in their head and they're very aware of it. (It would probably be great if they could stop doing that.)
