Distracted by her continued efforts to push her attack down on the the Eternity's shield, Anessa was too slow to stop Julian's blade from coming up and sinking a few feet into the Wallace Gundam's chest, making her feel as if her own chest had just been pierced. Stepping back, she knocked the blade away from herself and started breathing a bit more heavily, holding her sword up and waiting for Julian to make the next move. Going on the offensive all of this time hadn't done her too much good, so she would see what she could do by letting him go first.
