With Protea's sacrifice, the battle was ended. The demons were taken back into custody, the Constantinans down below were marched back into prison, and Zinnia was placed back into the jar, the black chains enveloping her body now released. Zinnia was in denial - she did not want to believe Yue was ill like this. "I can take you to a doctor, and he'll confirm it for me." Yulissa offered with a shrug. It didn't really matter much to her but the faster Zinnia accepted this reality, the better. "Even better - I could show your Madame Pomfrey the medical notes and she'll confirm it for you." Zinnia was more likely to believe it if Pomfrey was the one who said it. Someone like her was stubborn as a mule when she wanted to be.
When calling up Madame Pomfrey to be temporary released from the prison, the woman was distraught and in tears. It was understandable but Yulissa did not have time to sympathize with terrorists. Zinnia too, was having a pity party for herself. Constantinans really were quite dramatic, weren't they? It would be fine - they would adapt with time like everyone else did. "I read the reports." Pomfrey said in a dull voice. "But I won't say anything until I've seen her first." Yue was being kept in a solitary chamber for her own safety. Too much stimuli was dangerous for her. Yet Pomfrey seemed to think it was cruel to keep her there, locked away with no interaction. Not even doctors would come in - she was fed through the machine and had her waste cleaned from her body by the machine. Pomfrey nearly burst into tears when she saw how both Yue and Zinnia were being treated. "I'm so sorry Zinnia." She sobbed. "I'm so sorry we couldn't protect either of you."
Yulissa growled, kicking Pomfrey in the shin. "Okay, enough sobbing. You can see her but no one's allowed to say anything to her." The younger Princess of Magnolia opened the door and through the magical sterilizer they entered Yue's chamber. "H-hello?" Her voice was hoarse, as if she had been screaming trying to be heard but no one could hear her. "D-do you know where I am? Do you know... what's happening?" Blind and locked away, she had no way to know anything. "A-are Protea and Rainier dead yet? I - I heard it happening in my dream..." Yulissa was surprised. She must be even more potent at future sight than originally calculated. Pomfrey looked as if she wanted to speak but Yulissa had sealed her voice for the examination.
Madame Pomfrey touched her, reviewed the notes, as Yue babbled, trying to get anything out of the visitors in the room. "Pl-please, where's Z-Zinnia? Is she... I n-need to... see her?" The blind girl was lost. She chuckled weakly. "Well I guess I c-can't really see..." The mermaid tears were still in Constantina, the Magnolians doing the capturing didn't get them when taking the Constantinans away. They weren't informed of their importance after all. Once the examination was over Yulissa lead Pomfrey back out, keeping the Zinnia jar in her palm at all times.
"The... the reports match with what I've seen." Pomfrey said quietly, a dead look in her eyes. "It's true. Yue's in weak condition now thanks to all the happiness she's had. Any more and it could be her end." But she didn't have the means to help cure that. Their only hope was that Magnolia could find a way. There was no better medicine than in Magnolia after all. "I'm sorry... I'm sorry Zinnia, I can't do anything..."
