The turning of the table was so abrupt that Ashe does not even know what caused it, until Isaac yelled out the crucial words, Stop your pity!! Had he thought that she was pitying him when in fact she was begging for his pity? Before she could say anything, the man shouts again, Do something!! I hurt you!! Do something to me!! and shove the handle of the dagger toward her so that she would hold it. Intimidated by his yells, she hesitantly takes hold of the dagger but does nothing other than looking at Isaac with confusion.

Why aren't you doing anything?! the man yells again, causing Ashe to twitch in surprise. What is she supposed to do? She will not hurt the man, that is for sure, she finds that she cannot handle the sight of blood very well. "Wha-What do you want me to do?" she stutters, "I won't hurt you; I already said so and I always hold my word. I-If you want to be... punished for what you've done... yo-you can..." she says quickly, stumbling over her words while still holding the dagger in front of her.

She is at loss of words. What can he do in return? "Y-you can help me rescue some people." Realizing how crazy she was to even think of uttering such things to the mentally unstable man, she tries her hardest to keep the dagger in front of her in case the man attempts to attack.
