The fact that the Anglican Church, the denomination Index belongs to, is the same group that has ordered her pursuit baffles Touma. After Kaori explains what they have been doing to Index during her stay in Necessarius, Touma protests, unwilling to believe the restraints in Index's memories. However, Kaori points out the futility in trying to fight against Index's inevitable fate, all while punishing Touma's body with her Shichiten Shichitou. Touma refuses to give in to his grievous injuries and stood firm to his belief. Although he was unable to stand against Kaori's strength, he was able to speak his mind against her before passing out to his injuries.
