"Holy shit, I'm gonna die."

"Y-yoruna, don't say that!"

Kobeni shuddered, gripping onto him as Power pushed her away, holding onto Yoruna once again.

"Stay away from my servant."

"You finally dropped the slave moniker."

"Shut up! I'm consoling you!"

For some reason Power's voice became softer, letting him lay his head on her lap.

"Don't speak, rest."

The rest of the group glanced over to the two slightly dumbfounded as she pets his head like Meowy, it was obvious that he wasn't fully conscious of anything that was going on, but he still felt himself calm down, it was the first time he was ever held close like this, he newly discovered  hugs yet...this was such a different feeling then just a hug, it wasn't a hug at all but....this was something he probably needed, something long overdue.

"Nyeah-heh, I think I've done a sufficient job pampering my subordinate! Now go, break us out of here pet!"

Unfortunately, Yoruna's break from reality was interrupted by Power's ruthless behavior. Pushing Yoruna off her lap to the ground with a prideful grin, puffing out her chest as the rest watching him tumble nearly motionlessly to the ground, finally coming back to reality

"I-wha-gyah...bleh."

"Dammit, Japanese please you overgrown lightning rod!"

"Denji, shut the fuck up...please...now's not the time."

As soon as Yoruna spoke those words, Aki, Arai, and Himeno close behind, still cheery as ever.

"Alright everyone, gather around. Let's all recap what we saw."

"Mhm, Aki I'll go first!"

"Himeno please. But anyways, we've found that the stairs are infinite, though it's unclear the point where they repeat and if that can be broken though. Elevators are also inoperable. As Yoruna found for us, going through the windows doesn't do anything either, and breaking through the ceiling and the floor only sends you back, again as we all though."

The whole group was sinking deeper into despair until Denji's raspy voice interrupted their moment of silence with a curt idea.

"I gotta fuckin hypothesis, Power's the one who killed that devil and it's powers just never turned off when it died."

"...Denji... I'm going to censor myself, so the author doesn't get chased down by half the internet but...that was the most mentally slow opinion I have ever heard."

"Shut the fuck up and sniff Power's asshole you dog!"

"That's ironic, I'm just saying that sounds so dumb! Do you know how fucked the world would be if some devil's powers never turned off when they die."

"I'm just putting out some ideas, give me a break man."

"While Yoruna is correct, he hasn't explained the full point. A devil's abilities are automatically turned off after extermination."

"And what are you saying of me comforting my servant, I'm giving him the necessary motivation to break us out of here! So, nothing Is my fault, nothing is ever my fault!"

"Anyways, Yoruno keep Power on a bit of a leash. Aki, any movement from the flesh piece?"

"Been still as water."

"Oooh, scary."

"I find this situation deathly unamicable; I've tried to find something close, but my locational abilities haven't found anything yet. Believe this devil's abilities jamming it though."
