"Excellent work, Synthis~!", Jupiter gleefully claps her hands, "I'm sure that will break the morale of-...whatever his name is."
"I believe they call him Straus...but, eeeeh, details 'schmetails'."
"Indeed. Give it a day or so, and if he doesn't come to you go back and finish the job; remember to grab Red and bring her to me."
"Understood."
Meanwhile, Straus and Red try to reconcile after their heavy loss. Due to Koto's demise, everything that she had created, everything with a piece of her in it, was gone. Azura, Nathaniel, and Amadi were able to be salvaged, but all three were in a terrible state: three glitching, emotional basket cases.

DarkClaw reports in for Lightverse, "...She's gone...Uriel is gone."
Straus sits alone by himself, trying to process everything that just happened. The only family he had left was just taken from him in an instant, and he couldn't save her.
"Straus?", Red taps on his shoulder.
"Hm?"
"Are you mad at me?"
"...No...it's-...not your fault."
"They killed her because you got involved with me, how is it not my fault?"
Straus turns around and hugs her, "Stop...I chose to save you. You would have died if I just left you there...I couldn't have that on my conscience...I gotta go somewhere, look after them all please."
"...ok."
Straus opens a portal and steps through.
