IRyS recoils, closing her eyes as Envy's blood and gore fly towards her face, yet she doesn't feel anything touch her. What should have been warm, mushy or fluid matter... was nothing.
She opens her eyes to see that it was all... simply, idly floating in the air. Droplets of blood, bits of brain or bone, all just floating in the air before her eyes.
Envy's head stayed in the same position, his spine arched and a half of his head blown off.
"...My god..." The Man who wore the cross mutters to himself in awe and fear as the fragments of Envy start to float back into place.
The blood splattered in the air fills the cranium it came out of. The brain matter falls back into place, reforming the vital organ. Broken pieces of bone fit like puzzle pieces in the seams of his head...
His mouth hangs open, eyes wide as his posture straightens out... slowly, he slumps over.
"...W-What is... happening?!" IRyS grabs the side of her head, a splitting headache tearing her mind apart.
"...?" He silently looks up, confusion evident on his face as he looks to the man wearing the cross.
"...David...?" He almost inaudibly utters, and everything fades to black again.
"?!" IRyS falls back into focus as she's brought to reality, Shiori's voice piercing her thoughts.
"IRYS! SHE'LL DIE, I-IRYS!" Shiori's voice sounds like it's about to give out.
IRyS looks to The Archiver, blinking slowly as she registers her words.
"...Who...?"
"MOCOCO! PLEASE!" Shiori begs her, holding her hand and trying to pull her towards the unconscious girl.
"...Y-yes..." IRyS says as Nerissa pulls Envy's body off of her.
"...Damn, he's heavy..." Nerissa says as she lifts him up in a princess carry before flying off back into Hololive HQ through the window to Mumei's room where everyone is soundly sleeping.
IRyS slowly walks over to MOCOCO before kneeling down in front of the girl and pressing her hand on her chest.
A faint, pink glow emanates and surrounds Mococo's body, enveloping her in warmth.
"...I can't..." IRyS strains herself, grunting and groaning, yet... the damage isn't healing...
"...What... what do you mean you 'can't'?!" Shiori screams out from her hide.
"...I... I don't know! I can't!" She weakly retorts.
Meanwhile, Bijou checks up on Fuwawa, lifting her up and bringing her to IRyS as well.
"...She's not... waking up..." Bijou looks up at Shiori, a sad expression strewn on her face.
"...It'll be fine, Biboo. Everything will be fine, okay...?" Shiori manages to muster up a weak smile, though IRyS can tell it's not honest. The cold spot in her chest spreads more and more through her... she's never felt like this.
She feels... pointless.
"...Why can't I heal her?! Why?! Why?! AM I THIS USELESS?!" She shuts her eyes closed, deprecating thoughts filling every inch of her head.
She can't help but blame herself. If she had treated Envy more seriously, she could've stopped him then and there, but she treated the situation like a joke.
Like she could magically fix it anytime, whenever she felt like it.
Like she was in control.
"...Mnf..." Mococo's consciousness finally returns and she opens her eyes, seeing IRyS barely holding herself together from breaking out into tears.
"...What's..." They all snap their attention to her and Shiori breathes a sigh of relief as Bijou smiles, trying to rush in for a hug only to get pulled back by Shiori.
IRyS opens her eyes and opens them wide upon seeing that Mococo came to, smiling.
"...Oh... thank god..." She mutters as she looks at the healing wounds on Mococo's arms.
IRyS pulls back and the glow disappears. Mococo slowly stands up, staggering as she looks around at the carnage.
"...What happened...?" She asks.
"...A lot. Let's just... get you back inside, okay?" Shiori answers, ignoring the question.
"...Yeah, I'll fly you up." They all start floating, and soon they all enter the building through the same window that Nerissa used to come in.
"...This is a mess, huh?" Shiori says as she looks around.
All the girls are thrown about the room. Bae is sleeping on the ceiling, her limbs stretched out in the shape of a star as her tail hangs between her legs.
Kronii, Mumei and Fauna are sleeping together on the pillows near the window, their heads placed against one another. In that order, of course.
Gura, Kiara, Calliope and... Envy? Are sleeping in Mumei's bed. In reverse order, with Gura sleeping near the wall and Envy's arm hanging off the side of the the bed.
Ina, Amelia and Sana are huddled together in the middle of the room, sleeping more soundly than anyone else, actually... Bae tops them with ease. She looks like she's dreaming about a world-class cuisine of cheese.
Nerissa stands by the bed, staring at Envy before turning back to the girls as they enter through the window with IRyS holding the unconscious Fuwawa in a princess carry.
"...Isn't this great?" Nerissa smirks as she whispers to them.
"...Why is he..." IRyS tries to ask.
"Didn't have any other place to put him, soo... he goes here."
"...Okay..." IRyS places Fuwawa beside Amelia, Ina and Sana, earning a slight shift from the sleeping three.
"...What are we gonna do now?" Bijou asks.
"...I-I'm going to go and get a breath of fresh air, I think." IRyS says as she holds her forearm with one hand.
"...I've got multiple things I need to do. Nerissa and Bijou will be coming along with me." Shiori opens her book, addressing IRyS.
"...Okay, well... see you soon." IRyS gives a short nod in response.
"...Yeah. Come on, you two." They all quietly leave through the window with Nerissa's help.
IRyS turns to Envy yet again, looking at him like she's looking at Frankenstein.
"...He's the one who woke me up... without a doubt... I don't know... what to make of this anymore... those were his memories, right...? I can't... take this... my head hurts..." She holds her head tight as she heads for the window too, slowly taking off into the air as the sun starts to set.

One hour later...
Calliope opens her eyes, taking off her sleeping mask to reveal Envy laying down on the bed right beside her... shirtless.
"...What..."
She quickly comes to an unsavoury conclusion as she looks around, seeing everybody sleeping soundly, without a care in the world.
"...I... Oh, my god... I won't get pregnant, right?!" She clutches the bedsheets as she lays back down, her breath slowly quickening as she imagines what went down.
"...I can't believe it... Kiara's gonna kill me! I'm dead! I'm so fucking dead!"
She despairs in silence, grabbing her hair and mutely screaming.
"I'm cooked! LITERALLY! WAIT, where is Kiara?!" She sits back up, looking around... before looking at her side.
"...No... oh no, I'm... I must be going crazy..." She sees Kiara soundly sleeping beside Gura...
"...A foursome... Oh god, and with Gura of all people...I'm gonna lose my..." Yet again, she falls back into place, but this time... she's knocked out for good.
