Mr.L took deep breaths as he tried to regulate his breathing, Sapphire standing calmly in front of him. He lifted a hand to signal to wait a moment as he placed his hands on his knees, trying to calm down.
"What do you mean 'corrupt like the rest'?! What's going to happen to Dim!? And why are you even here!?" Mr.L exclaimed.
"Back at Castle Bleck, when you were there with Diamond and the others, I foresaw all of this," Sapphire stated.
"Then WHY didn't you just tell us that Diamond was Dimentio before!?" Mr.L demanded.
"I looked down that path, and it resulted in you cracking Diamond, her gem corrupting, and then her running away, thus trapping Blumiere, Salustio, and Timpani where they were," Sapphire explained.
Mr.L paused as the reality of that being an actual thing that could've happened seeped in.
"O-oh." Mr.L simply replied, "But, still, if you can see the future-"
"Why did this happen? Trust me when I say that the outcome of this will be preferable." Sapphire stated, "Now, allow me to escort you to Castle Bleck."
Sapphire lept and delicately floated down to the floor. She walked up to Mr.L and took his hand before starting out of the cave, making Mr.L even more confused.
"Wait, what? Why are we going back to Castle Bleck!?" Mr.L questioned.
"Dimentio should've arrived there a mere few moments ago. He should be in the halls as we speak." Sapphire explained, "And then in a few moments, after he reaches the Inner Sanctum, he will have an emotional meltdown and his gem will completely corrupt."
"WHAT?!" Mr.L exclaimed as Sapphire dragged him along, "Why didn't you just say that!? Let's get moving!!!"
Mr.L jerked his hand from Sapphire and quickly sprinted ahead, bolting for the exit where the dimensional door was. Sapphire sighed as she continued walking.
"Predictable, as always." She murmured.

Mr.L huffed as he stood keeled over, his hands on his knees. He was breathing heavily from how fast he just ran, practically sprinting from the Floro Caverns to Flopside. Sapphire walked up to Mr.L, her expression blank as he took one last deep breath, standing up straight.
"Are you alright?" Sapphire asked Mr.L, her tone flat.
"I thought that you could see the future, WHY are you asking me this?" Mr.L questioned while taking in a few gasps of breath.
"It's called being courteous," Sapphire stated.
Mr.L glared at Sapphire as she walked ahead of him, easing open the door to Castle Bleck.
"Now, are you ready for me to help you, or do you wish to be stubborn?" Sapphire asked.
Mr.L scoffed as he started into the building.
"I'm pretty sure that I don't have a choice anyway. Listening to whatever you have to say will probably be the best way to help Dimentio anyway..." Mr.L sighed, "So let's just walk and talk to save time here."
Sapphire nodded and followed him into the castle, the doors closing with a slam behind her. She walked ahead of Mr.L as if leading him down the hall despite the fact he knew the halls quite well.
"So, the Inner Sanctum, huh?" Mr.L asked, "Can you at least tell me what to expect? And also why you gave me a tissue box earlier..?"
"Both will be answered soon." Sapphire said, "Because we're here."
