[ the one time lumine wanted her powers, the one moment when she actually hoped she could use it, it stops responding to her. no doubt held back and sapped away by whatever pierre fed her, she's helpless and rooted in place when that hand wraps tightly around her, her entire body screaming in pain and agony, threatening to shatter into a million pieces as she's dragged upward like a ragdoll. but she tries to hold on, wanting to keep her promise to her twin brother.
still, she's barely even able to parse what's going on, her consciousness fading in and out, stars exploding behind her eyes as the crystals continue to feed on her and the god squeezes the life out of her body. she doesn't even notice ajax, transformed into the same creature she's witnessed in her vision of lumine's final battle, losing consciousness when she's once more thrown into a whiplash.

don't worry, we'll get you fixed right away. just stay with me, lu. stay with me, please. ]
