The hours had dragged on, and the tension in the chamber was palpable. Lollipop remained in a state of violent agitation, her attempts to calm down proving futile. The Have Nots had tried everything they could think of gentle words, soothing gestures, and even attempts to distract her but nothing seemed to work. Instead, Lollipop's responses became increasingly erratic and dangerous.

Her screams had faded to frantic shouts, and her violent outbursts grew more intense. The chamber's atmosphere was charged with fear and frustration as the group struggled to manage the situation.

"We've tried everything," Ruby said, her voice trembling. "We can't keep her like this. It's getting too dangerous."

Firey's flames flickered with a mix of concern and determination. "We need to find a way to keep her safe and keep everyone else safe from her. Isolation might be the only option."

Blocky nodded in agreement. "It's the only way to ensure she doesn't hurt anyone, including herself."

Taco looked over at Lollipop, who was still thrashing against her restraints. Her eyes were wild, and her movements were erratic as she struggled against the bonds that kept her secured.

"Lollipop!" Taco called out, her voice firm but empathetic. "We need to put you in a safe place where you can't hurt anyone. We're doing this to protect you and everyone else."

Lollipop's response was a mix of screams and incoherent rants. Her voice was hoarse from hours of shouting, and her eyes were filled with a mix of fear and rage.

"NO!" she cried out. "GET AWAY FROM ME! LEAVE ME ALONE!"

Her words were punctuated by violent thrashes, and her strength seemed to grow as her frustration mounted. The restraints were holding her for now, but the danger was ever-present.

"We don't have a choice," Firey said, his voice filled with resolve. "We need to get her into isolation before she does any more damage."

The group worked quickly to prepare an isolation chamber, a secure area designed to contain individuals who were a danger to themselves or others. The chamber was fortified and soundproof, with minimal furnishings to prevent any potential harm.

With careful coordination, the group transported Lollipop to the isolation chamber. Her protests continued, growing more frantic as she realized what was happening. She struggled against the restraints, her cries echoing through the corridors as she was moved.

Once inside the isolation chamber, the door was sealed, and the room was monitored remotely. Lollipop was left alone, her angry shouts muffled by the thick walls of the chamber. Her violent reactions continued, but now they were confined to the secure space.

The Have Nots watched from a safe distance, their faces a mix of sadness and worry. They had hoped to help Lollipop, but the situation had escalated beyond their control. They were left grappling with the reality that their friend was now isolated, her mental state deteriorating further.

Four observed the scene with a mixture of curiosity and concern. Floating nearby, he offered a few words of reassurance. "This is a necessary step. We need to understand what's happening and find a way to help her."

As the minutes ticked by, the group remained vigilant, monitoring Lollipop's condition through the surveillance system. The isolation chamber provided a temporary solution, but the road ahead was uncertain.

Lollipop's screams eventually faded to exhausted sobs, her energy waning as the realization of her isolation set in. The room was filled with the sounds of her broken, muffled cries, a stark reminder of the pain and chaos that had taken hold of her.

The Have Nots knew that their next steps would be crucial. They needed to find a way to help Lollipop recover from her trauma and deal with the dark influence that had pushed her to the brink. For now, all they could do was wait and hope that isolation would provide the calm needed to begin the healing process.
