The Snow Bathing Sword actually does not want to admit defeat.
Not that she cares much about her 'deal' with Hopkins; this girl is simply like most people who don't enjoy 'losing.'
If you can win, why lay down?
If you can stand, who would want to kneel?
If you can struggle, why not give it a try?
So initially, when faced with Scarlett Diesel's 'persuasion to surrender,' the Snow Bathing Sword felt no disturbance and even felt a bit like laughing.
Despite going through a tiring 'fierce battle,' if you only look at her character panel, the Snow Bathing Sword's combat prowess hasn't really been reduced much.
