The walls of reason will eventually breach.
"Move, move quickly!"
"Chase after her now! Take advantage of her awkwardness walking on two legs; I am fully capable of catching her before the portal closes, even without magic!"
Unable to take effective action, Aurora's reason kept urging her to take the steps most beneficial to herself at the moment.
"Anyway, as long as she isn't left in the Human World, everything I anticipated won't happen! This is for her own good, even if she can't understand my good intentions."
"I just don't want to lose her, I don't want her to experience that pain. What did I do wrong? As long as I can achieve my goal..."
Aurora began to try and walk towards the crystal mirror.
"Flying Light... have you... never considered me a friend?"
"..."
I don't know why, but the voice, tone, and cadence of that sentence kept echoing in her mind, slowly draining away her courage to chase after her.
The trembling of her body seemed to be telling her: You can't catch up to her anymore.
"Chase her, catch her, then what?"
"Am I... really doing this for her own good?"
"Is this really what she wants, or is it what I want? Is what I think she needs really what she wants?"
"Even if I catch her, what status or position do I have to make decisions for her?"
Aurora placed her hoof on the mirror's surface, feeling less resistance than expected, almost equal to none. There was even a slight pull coming from the other side, inviting her to the world on the other side of the mirror.
The world belonging to humans.
"..."
But no matter what, Aurora could not cross this distance that was right in front of her, even though there was nothing else stopping her from making a decision now.
"Flying Light... have you... never considered me a friend?"
Of course not, definitely not!
If she had never considered Sunset Shimmer a friend, then why would she still want to stop her from going to the Human World?
"Because she is my substitute. With her, I can avoid the risk of becoming a princess and study magic in peace. Isn't that the whole reason I became friends with Sunset Shimmer in the first place?"
"Although Sunset Shimmer still ended up following her destiny, at least there's still Twilight Sparkle to take over; she is the fated princess of Equestria."
Aurora suddenly felt that her brain was so calm right now that it made her feel a bit nauseous.
Rationally analyzing, even if Sunset Shimmer was destined to go to Canterlot High School in the Human World and become a school bully, this matter itself would not infringe upon Aurora's interests.
As a friend, she had already done everything within her power. Continuing to use forceful means to twist Sunset Shimmer's will was already beyond the scope of what a friend could do.
Doing so had no benefits, just brought herself trouble, and she wouldn't even get a good look from Sunset Shimmer.
Compared to this, Sunset Shimmer's statement just now... or rather, her questioning, was what made her feel more concerned.
This concerned the reason for how her relationship with Sunset Shimmer had reached this point today.
Some of what Sunset Shimmer said was correct. She saw through Aurora very clearly. If not for the limitations of her cognition, she would have almost put the matter of Aurora being a transmigrator on the table.
Aurora thought she held the script and could resolve all known crises, but Sunset Shimmer's resistance truly gave her a blow to the head, teaching her a lesson.
Therefore, she urgently needed to figure out the reason for this to avoid making the same mistake again.
This was also Aurora's habit: when she was at a loss, she would instinctively start correcting errors, looking for the cause of the conflict, and thus finding a way to solve the problem.
It's just that she didn't understand why she knew everything, yet it seemed like nothing had changed.
"Ha... you see, even now you still have that self-righteous look."
"Did I miss calculating some variable?"
