Mind's posture returns to an idle state as she builds some space between herself and the Reaper.
"...Why so serious?" She mocks, then twirls the scythe in her hand.
"Because you won't shut up." Calliope barks out in annoyance, a frown decorating her pale expression.
"Haha, I beg to differ..." Mind shrugs.
Without warning, a root charges past Calliope's head, cutting strands of her hair off as its sharp, pointed end aims to stab into Mind's body.
"I actually believe I'm being quite taciturn~"
She dodges the plant matter, leaping back and cleaving it in two, then relaxing her posture yet again as she falls back to the ground.
"...My ass." Calliope says as her body is encircled yet again by dark mist, and soon, she appears back at everyone's side.
"Really? Am I that annoying? Well, in that case..." Mind raises her scythe, then slowly swings it horizontally.
Envy immediately raises his arm, and the black blade moves to stand in front of it.
The dull weapon erupts into a wall of magnetite powder, its form shielding all of the now-surprised girls.
"...What...?!" Amelia watches as the wall is slashed in two right before her eyes, the black powder flying past her face as her clothes and hair are blown back.
She can barely stay on her feet, much less see what just happened as her ears are assaulted by an ear deafening sound, a boom which leaves her mind shaking.
"...Ugh... god..." Kronii grunts and shuts an eye, shielding her eyes.
"...Are you alright?" Envy says, his face unperturbed as rivulets of black start to build up, recollecting itself and pilling back layer by layer into his blade.
He clutches the handle in his hand as it finishes rebuilding, letting it rest at his side.
"...Yeah, we're... fine..." Gura answers for the others, yet Envy can tell from a glance that's not true. They're all in varying degrees of discomfort, some are slumped over, some are standing, nonetheless, none are fine.
He turns back to the grinning Mind, narrowing his eyes as if to say "it's between us."
"...It was. Until now, that is... now I want them to watch, brother~" She takes slow, deliberate steps as she inches closer to him...
"...Don't make this harder than it has to be. For me, or for you." Envy says, taking steps forwards towards her too.
"This isn't hard for me at all, brother. You know that."
A bullet collides with Mind's face, shattering upon contact and causing her to glance at Amelia's slumped body.
"...Hehe..." She giggles, caressing her cheek.
"...Tch..." Amelia clicks her tongue, standing up straight.
"Come on! Get up!" Amelia looks to the other girls in Holomyth, and they look back at her.
...She doesn't see any willingness to fight in their gazes, as if they came here through force. Yet they didn't. They came here of their own accord, yet they still won't push through with all their might.
"...I SAID GET UP! COME ON, YOU IDIOTS! SHE WANTS TO KILL YOU!"
Furious, Amelia brings their view to the woman standing before them.
"WHAT'RE YOU WAITING FOR?! DO YOU THINK SHE'LL KILL HERSELF?!"
All of the girls stare at the Detective wide-eyed, simply taken aback by her ferocity and words.
