Ow, ow, ow! [Needle pricks of pain in her scalp forced Rakka to look up. The sight she saw made tense up, an icy feeling in the pit of her stomach suddenly appeared. As fruitless as it was, she continued to struggle, this time more frantically.]

Stop it! Stop it please! You can't just let this happen!

[switch_over]

[Eas will twist on Rakka's captive arm, trying the quell the other girls struggles. All the while her other hand turns the other girls head to follow the monster along.]

Your cries. Their cries. All of this suffering will become the energy that fills the misfortune gauge.

[Eas paused and considered something for a moment.]

I doubt you are willing to the pay the price I'd demand to stop this.

[charcoalfeather]

Augh!

[Resistance only leading to more failure and pain, Rakka lessened her struggling. But only by a little bit. She couldn't.... give up, not now...

But then she stopped, listening to Eas's words.]

...Wh-what is it? Tell me!

[switch_over]

[Eas kept her grip firm on Rakka but didn't go out of her way to hurt the girl any further. She was listening, that was good.]

You can join Labyrinth, swear yourself to my Lord Moebius and obey his every command and I'll call off my attack.

[charcoalfeather]

[Rakka's heart sank as she heard the command. She had even stopped struggling, frozen in disbelief. Join... Labyrinth? Just like that?]

What?! I... I...

[switch_over]

[It's really not all that special. Odds are she'll just get to wear a gray jumpsuit and perform menial tasks all day.

...Oh and there's the whole mind controlling her to make her do those things, but that's not too important.]

You can either bow to my master now, or when he conquers this world in due time. You'd best make up your mind now, are there not people you're concerned for?

[charcoalfeather]

[Not that Rakka really knew that. If it was anything like what Eas did, Rakka didn't want any part of it.

But... she could still hear the screams of people in the distance.]

... [She couldn't look at it, or Eas. Or anything.] ..........Okay.

[switch_over]

[Awwww, the sound of utter defeat. That's the kind of thing that makes waking up in the morning worthwhile to Eas. She hauls Rakka up to her feet, her arm still twisted behind her back. She'll raise a hand and gesture to the Nakewameke, ordering it to stop now. Rakka's bike will revert to normal and the card will return to Eas.

She'll then glance toward Rakka and smirk.]

You made the right choice.

[charcoalfeather]

[At least the monster was gone, Rakka thought to herself as she was pulled to her feet. She honestly wanted to look on the bright side of things, but... that was going to be hard.

Her head hangs low, Rakka adverting her gaze from Eas. She didn't want to see that face, and she didn't want Eas to see the tears stinging in the corners of her eyes.]

...I hate you.

[switch_over]

[Honestly, Eas was perfectly fine with Rakka looking away. She didn't need to see the girls face to know that she had the girl utterly beat. The tone of her voice was satisfaction enough.

Eas will release her grip on Rakka's arm, but just long enough to turn the girl around and hoist Rakka up over her shoulder. The girl would soon belong to Lord Moebius, it was only fitting that Eas treat her like property.]

Hate me all you want, it wont help your situation.

[charcoalfeather]

Whaa! [Very suddenly, Rakka felt herself be pulled up and over Eas's shoulder. There was a moment's struggle, but it was all useless anyways.]

...Why do you do this? [She asked, fruitlessly, staring blankly down at the ground beneath them.] What good can all of this negativity do?!

[switch_over]

[Rakka's struggles don't really bother Eas that much, she's strong enough to take anything the Haibane can dish out.]

I'm simply doing what my lord requests. [She's said it once she'll say it however many times she has to.]

This misery will allow us to locate Infinity so that he may rule over all worlds like he does Labyrinth.

[charcoalfeather]

But... [She sounds tired, like she has almost give up tying to understand.] Misery like this... it will just destroy you....

[switch_over]

[Eas stops and gives Rakka a rough shake from her shoulder.]

You'll sing a different tune once we're finished with you.

[charcoalfeather]

[And she says nothing. There's nothing left that she can do.]
