Aww~ poor Meiling. I bet she took damage because she was so exhausted, the poor youkai girl... HAHAHA, in the third panel, you can see NEW Meiling crying. Ooh, and she's sweating in the fourth. Sakuya does not seem happy at all.

In certain Beat 'em up games, such as final fight... when you break certain non-inert objects, such as rolling barrels or gas cylinders, if your hit-box is close enough you will take damage regardless if the object was expunged or destroyed.
