Harper was laying in bed one day, casually carving something into the wall, before they noticed some commotion from above their cell. It sounded like– A fight.

Yelling.

And that tingly feeling in the back of their head gave them a pretty good idea of what was happening. Someone must be using their gem powers.

During their time in the cell, they only went more and more insane and sensitive to anything regarding the gems..

Anyways!

The freckled teen gets up from their bed, walking towards the cell door and leaning their arms through it, curiously looking down the hallway. She notices a frobot walking down the hallway, and they grab the bars.

"Oi! Mind letting me out?"

The frobot immediately moves over and unlocks the cage, and Harper nods in thanks, leaving the cell and beginning down the hallway. They can't really tell why the frobots always listen to them..

They eventually make it to a secret passageway and jog up the stairs, peeking out from behind a tapestry.

There was all kinds of shit happening...

Anne's glowing blue and fighting Andrias, Marcy just flew into the room on her bird buddy with Sprig–

There's too much shit happening for them to even process half of it.

So, they opt to sit in the shadows, watching everything go down. Until they decided to step out randomly, and everyone looked towards them as soon as they heard their footsteps.

"Hi."

Marcy immediately runs over and tackles the ginger into a hug, burying her face into their neck. They falter for a second, before slowly hugging back.

"Har! Oh thank frog, I haven't seen you in so long, I thought something happened–"

The freckled teen sent Andrias a glance, who simply seemed to grin at the sight. Harper narrowed their eyes for a second, before letting Marcy go and stepping back. "I'm fine."

"Well isn't this a heartwarming reunion! Though, I'm afraid I need to cut it short–" Andrias speaks up, before turning towards Anne. "I have to admit, even I'm surprised. Somehow you still got the gift, kid. Which means I can't let you live." He raises his laser sword in the middle of his sentence, though the castle suddenly seemed to power down.

"What?" The giant Newt questions, before noticing a certain noirette holding the music box. "Please work, please work, please work–"

"No!"

As Marcy opens a portal and ushers everyone towards it, Harper pauses. Do they really want to return to Earth? To that shithole? After everything they've been through here...

They stand in place.

Anne calls after Marcy, who replies with 'I just need to–' Before getting cut off, Andrias' laser sword impaled straight through her chest.

While everyone else seemed shocked, Harper felt nothing, watching the noirette collapse to the ground, the music box flying straight towards them– And they catch it.

"Harper– Come on!" They hear Anne call, though Andrias speaks up soon after. "Remember what these people did to you? Do you really want to go with them? Our offer still stands."
