A storm rages on. The galleon is capsized by the violent roiling of the sea.

—Ackephlus—
Gyarrrr!!!! Save yourself, Master!!! Save yourseeeelf!!!

























Yuno exits the front archway of the temple. Behind her, anime girls attempt to comfort the Goddess as she wails openly.









Nix stands in between the grand pillars out front of the temple. She watches the rains pour down in silence, giving no acknowledgement to Yuno as she approaches.



—Yuno—
It's... really coming down, isn't it...





—Yuno—
Nix, um, you don't know that Jiro's... not going to be okay.
Sunny and Polyta are going to save him.





—Yuno—
And-- and also!
What you said to the Goddess, it was...!
It was MEAN!!
Did you-- did you really have to say that?

Have you ever died, Yuno?

—Yuno—
Um. No...?

I HAVE.






It hurts.




Nix turns to face Yuno. Her stare burns like hellfire.

So let me explain to you how it works.




You do
what you must


or you DIE.

































Jiro strikes against the bars of a canary cage.

There you go.
STAY PUT.


The bastard skulks outside.

You had those girls well fooled, didn't you.
Marching along like a
good
little
soldier




Oh so helpful,
weren't you.




Don't you worry.
You can't fucking hide it from me.



I KNOW you.




No door on this cage.

No matter...


You won't run.


The bastard flies away. There are a number of canary cages perched on winding spiral towers.



This is where you belong.
