"Just remember." Damian's words before opening Yui's mind so she could dive in. "The safeword is Apple Juice." If she spoke it, Damian would be signaled and take her out right away, even if it meant leaving Ally stuck in there for the time being.
The path was shut. Ally closed it on purpose and she turned around to face Loretta. She knew the shadow girl would try to cause problems later... but she also knew she wasn't evil. Loretta was a victim and Ally wanted to save her, even if it meant doing something risky like this. "I'm going to save you." She said, spreading her arms wide as if she wanted to go in and hug the poor shadowy girl. "You were a good person once. You were originally destined to be the Cocoon, right? You were meant to be light like the rest of us." But because she was handed over to Shoku, the good in the child was corrupted and twisted from torture and misery and cruelty all at once.
The girl who had become the embodiment of darkness seemed to laugh at this measly attempt at saving. "Save? You don't want to save me. You just want to control me so that you'll be able to control Yui, too." She had learned the hard way from Shoku not to trust anyone, not to expect anything from anyone. All the other Light Bearers allowed her to suffer her fate. If they really cared, they would have saved her before she became like this and was replaced by the child that knew nothing, the imposter borrowing her body. "You're such a fool, staying here like this." The dream was starting to destabilize now, because Yui had waken up. They wouldn't be ejected though, they would remain locked in Yui's subconscious.
"I want to help you, because I believe we could have been friends." Ally said, calmly and her voice was full of hope. Then suddenly the darkness engulfed her and her surroundings became a tiny room in the middle of nowhere. Loretta's voice echoed around her but it was impossible to know where she was. "Then you'll have to understand what my life was. I'll let you experience it all from my own eyes!" So Ally was forced to live through all that Loretta had suffered in her time as Shoku's Subject. Being splashed with water, naked, because of Ronan's disobedience. Being hit by the electric whip because Ronan refused to kill. Ronan's empty promises of protecting her as time and time again he was too emotional to take a life.
"Why are you hurting her?" Ronan begged one day. "Hurt me, instead!" Shoku smiled at him but there was no kindness in that expression. "Because it's more damaging psychologically to see someone you love being hurt." Running through the maze with the burning floor, being dissected and having her limbs cut up over and over again, locked up in a tiny room and being forced to kill those who begged for their lives in the Hall of No Escape.
And it was in that state that Ally was in, unable to cry out as she was still trapped in the memories as Loretta. Above the island, seemingly floating in the air, was the tiny room made of iron and chains that Loretta had constructed to hold her while she waited for Yui to sleep again.
