That in itself, is the sin.❞

They were very much in a bind, weren't they? These armored soldiers - not to mention Rose's injury, this one was going to be tough. But they couldn't just back down, now that they were finally here. Stella was very tense, the grip on her flag strong and steady and Rose too, with her rapier, was looking for any weakness in the heavy armor that they could take advantage of. Finally it was Miiko who thought of something and with a thunk, a piano had crushed one. "What the hell was that?" One of them cried out in alarm. "We'll make the bitches pay for killing our friend! Violate them until they-" Rose winked at Miiko and dashed forward, predicting the sword. So she perfectly aimed her rapier's point to go right through the hole in he helmet, stabbing out the eye, the the tip entering the brain.
Meanwhile Stella whirled her flag, then used it as a distraction to jump to the piano. Taking inspiration from Miiko's genius Stella tapped the piano and then herself, and they were both teleported high up above. "Time to die, Republic scum!" Stella laughed as she crushed another with the same technique Miiko had used. There were two more left and they weren't sure what to do, just shouting out threats that they would never get to fulfill. Rose lunged forward to stab but then her foot slipped due to sudden pain in her back and she fell. The man laughed. "Die!" He roared, swinging his axe down hard enough to split Rose's head - if it wasn't for Stella stabbing him through the chink in his armor, right at the armpit, Rose would have certainly died. "And dad called you the strongest." Stella said with a hint of scorn, finishing off the last one with the poor overworked piano.
"Dad, we're at the Atrium, we've sent the soldiers back to the boat." Stella reported, she gave a thumb up to both Rose and Miiko and without a word set off to look for the tiara. "...We've got some dead but we made sure to bring back all of the remains." Rose was panting, using Miiko's shoulder to pull herself back up to her feet. "You're a genius." Rose praised Miiko, if it wasn't for the piano they would have been in trouble. "Good work, Miiko!" Stella's eyes suddenly lit up and she ran off. It had to be the Tiara, so Rose gave chase, she needed to see this with her own eyes, she needed to confirm this once and for all. And there it was, Stella was holding a tiara with a star emblem on the front, it was glowing with energy and then...
Pigtails, naked, it was Essie in all ways. Somehow, against all odds, Essie was here. She smiled at Stella, holding out her hand. "Hello, Caster. I am the Star, Essie, and I'm your Spirit from now on." With that, a very bitter smile grew on Essie's face as she looked at Prisca. "...Well, with my sister there, I guess I don't need to explain anything, do I?" Stella was overjoyed to have a Spirit of her own now. "I'm Stella, this is Miiko and her Spirit." Stella of course didn't buy her name as Rose for one second, and she was right. "E-Essie." The Martyr choked, unable to look at the shining star in the eye. "I'm surprised you're here, sister." Essie was nothing like the gentle and kind Essie of the past. "Someone who killed all of our friends and family, what lies did you spout to make these people accept you, Prisca?" She pointed to her neck and smiled. "You even killed me, remember, you watched me die with those same eyes."
It was the reunion Prisca both wanted with all of her heart... and dreaded more than anything.
