Francois jumped down into the sewers. Hirune caught her and set her down before they got on their way down the sewer.
As they walked through the sewers, something kept on eating away at the back of Hirune's head. That being, how would they actually break out Mr. Comedian? There was always the path of talking things out, but there was no shot at that considering what Francois told her about the group. She certainly wasn't strong enough to take down-- take down? Was she trying to make herself lose?
She wasn't strong enough neither physically nor mentally to kill countless people for one person. That was the harsh truth that she had to face, but she had to get over it for Francois.
On their way down to the sewers Francois told her everything that Gambler's had done to her, so she now felt even more drawn to take them down. But to take them down she'd need Mr. Comedian and Kala to help her, which were both clearly an issue.
Suddenly Francois stopped walking and stomped on the ground twice, causing the water around them to clear and a hole to open up bellow their feet and swallow them.
Hirune didn't panic as she turned her hair fully black and turned her clothes into a large black cloak held close by a zipper in the front, the zipper covered up by an extra fabric layer buttoned above the zipper. She pulled the hood above her head and pulled up a stretchy fabric on the undermost layer of the cloak onto her face.
"Francois, go into wand form," Hirune said as she reached out towards her.
Francois listened and turned into a wand. Hirune quickly grabbed her and increased the size of the cloak to conceal her form even more as she landed in the middle of a roulette wheel lit up by a bunch of white lights on each one of the differently colored stripes.
Luckily there didn't seem to be anyone around. Then the wheel started rapidly spinning nearly knocking Hirune over. She barely caught herself by making the devourer jaws come out of her feet and stick to the surface she stood on.
Then suddenly someone fell from above and landed directly on red, the wheels shredding them into a red mist. Hirune quickly devoured herself onto a gate, controlling the jaws on her feet to weave around the gate and tightly tie her onto it.
"Watch out!" Francois summoned a sword while in wand mode and sent it flying towards someone that was dropping down onto them from above. The blood raining onto them as the person spun in the air from the force the sword sliced them with and landed in the black right in front of them. The red mist hindering Hirune's sight.
With her mind racing, Hirune quickly realized that many more people would start dropping down from above and quickly chose a path to go down. Between every couple of gates there were low gates that could be open.
So, she quickly went down the nearest path to her right and made a run for it as a bunch of other goons dropped down from above.
She nearly fell into the unknown void around the slim plank that led to a wider stone road. Luckily, she caught herself onto the stone road and pulled herself back up. To the least of her surprise and to the most of her annoyance though, a bunch of hindrances were already on the bridge.
"I don't have time for this! Weeping Garden!" She made the cloak puff up, as a bunch of large hypnotic marigold flowers with a black color on the outside and rose-pink color on the inside with a soft rose glow emitting from markings on the petals formed beneath her cloak around her waist and sent a bunch of pinkish mist at them. This mist proceeded to break down the cells in their body down to the bone until they turned to dust.
She picked two of the beautiful marigolds, shrank them down to their normal size, and stuck them onto the side of her hood as she continued down the path.
Eventually she did come across a cell at the end of the path, but it wasn't the right one. There were guts spilling out of the cell and the bars were bloody, someone sitting in the middle of the cell with their arms and mouth covered in blood.
"Do you want to kill more guys?" Hirune asked looking down at all of the carnage in the cell, her eyes filling with sorrow.
The person slowly turned towards her while drawing shaky breaths, their eyes having been dried out from countless tears that have ran down their cheeks.
"Why... Why would I want to kill anyone other than myself?"
Hirune flinched at that, a sense of pity filling her heart as she stared at the person now slowly crawling towards her, "Why would you want that?"
The person held themselves up slightly by gripping the cell bars tightly, "It hurts. It all hurts, and I killed all of them. There's no point in living anymore. I can feel my ribs going into my lungs, my blood trying its best to circulate through my head... I just want this pain to end. I want this suffering to stop..."
Hirune crouched down and gently hugged the person with one arm, gently running her fingers through their hair, "Are you truly sure this is what you want?"
The person started sobbing dry tears and stayed silent for a while before answering with a weak yes. Hirune nodded and gently kissed their forehead as she took one of the marigolds on her hood and blew on it. Causing the mist to come out of the flower again.
As the mist slowly took apart their cells the person seemed to be at peace as they made eye contact with Hirune and said, "Thank you... May Shisme have mercy..."
Hirune swallowed hard as she stroked their hair, feeling them slowly fall apart in her arms, "May Shisme have mercy."
