But even as the guilt and remorse consumed her, a flicker of determination flared within Kana's heart. She knew that she had to find a way to make things right, to stop Kiyomasa and protect those she cared about. She couldn't let him win, and she couldn't let her mistakes lead to the downfall of Toman.

With a newfound resolve, Kana straightened up, determination in her eyes. She had to act, to find a way to atone for her mistakes and fight back against Kiyomasa's manipulations. She was done being his puppet, and it was time to take back control of the situation.

She looked at the Toman member, a resolute expression on her face. "You're right," she said, her voice firm. "Kiyomasa isn't going to spare Toman just because I back out of this fight. He's going to try and take us down either way, and I won't just sit by and let that happen."

The member looked at kana, a flicker of surprise in their eyes at her sudden determination. "What do you plan on doing then?" he asked, his voice wary but hopeful.

Kana looked around at all the Toman members nearby, a sense of determination in her eyes. She took a deep breath and spoke up, her voice firm and resolute. "We're Toman members, we stick together, no matter what."

She raised her voice, addressing the group of the remainding members around her. "Listen up, everyone!" she called out, drawing the attention of those nearby.

Everyone who heard her turned towards her, their surprised gazes focused on her as she spoke. They could tell from the tone of her voice that the situation had changed, and they waited for her to continue.

She took another breath, her heart pounding in her chest. She knew she had to choose her words carefully, to rally the members into action and convince them of the gravity of the situation that she had created earlier.

Her voice grew more urgent as she spoke up. "We can't let Ronin win. We need to stick together and stand up to Kiyomasa. The others are fighting right now, and we need to be there to help. We can't let them down."

Another member spoke up, their voice filled with confusion and doubt. "But weren't you the one who said we had no chance against Kiyomasa? Against Ronin? What makes you think we can win now?"

Kana tensed, feeling the weight of the other member's question. She could understand their skepticism, given her earlier statement, but she was unwavering in her resolve to take a stand against Kiyomasa and the other members of Ronin.

"I know I said that before," she started, her voice firm. "But I was wrong. Kiyomasa is cruel and dangerous, he won't take it easy either way, but we can't give up. If we fight this all together, we have a chance to overwhelm him and take Ronin down. We can't let fear stop us from fighting back."

The other members looked at her with skepticism, but there was also a hint of hope in their eyes. They could tell that Kana was serious about taking a stand, and they were starting to come around to her way of thinking.

"Do you really think we can win?" they asked, their voice still tinged with doubt but also with a touch of optimism.

Kana nodded, her eyes burning with fierce determination. "Of course we can win," she said, her voice strong and confident. "Hell, we're Toman members! Mikey and Draken lead one hell of a gang and we got a reputation to uphold! We can't let anyone take that away from us!"

The members around Kana listened to her words, their eyes wide with awe and respect. The fire in her eyes and the passion in her voice was contagious, and they could feel their own determination swelling up within them. She had a point; they were Toman members, part of a gang known for its strength and loyalty. They couldn't let any other gang take that away from them.
