Nora and Jymaiyri appeared in their own separate areas of the arena... The spectators would see (besides Juno) a twelve story tall, falling apart, hotel building. Most of the windows didn't have glass, and their curtains lifelessly blew in the slight draft. It sat on a field of dead grass, with an overgrown pathway leading to the entrance. The grass field only extended for about fifty feet before ending. The void awaited. Dull, yellow lights would occasionally flicker on in the hallways. It was dark outside. The only lights were the distant, distant stars. (edited)

To accommodate the split of the contestants, the spectators would be seeing two different live feeds from inside the hotel displayed on to the glass containing them. One would focus on Nora and the other on Jymaiyri.

Floor 7: At the same time, Jymaiyri and Nora arrived at floor 7. This floor only held one thing. A crib in the very center. Jymaiyri entered from one end of the hallway, and Nora from the other. In the crib was baby Minerva. Alone, scared, and probably cold. The totem sat next to her in the crib.

Jymaiyri ran to the crib. "Minerva! Minerva!" She had to go help her baby. Nothing else mattered. She didn't even pay Nora any mind.

Nora walked past all of the mirrors, herself, the dolls, him, none of it was real. The woman in front of her was. The totem shined in the crib, and she was running to it. Terror seized her, and Nora threw out her hand, thin red string flying from it.

Jymaiyri scooped the baby into her arms. Her priorites right now were clear.

……she didn’t even see her. …Nora quietly moved towards the totem.

Now that Minerva was in her arms, Jymaiyri shifted her attention to the totem. She reached out for it

Jymaiyri was a moment too late. Her fingers barely brushed the totem before Nora swept it into her grasp. "Please- please- Nora, Please- I have a baby. I have to take care of my baby." @Sauce | Nora🧶+Lykos🐺

Nora grabbed the totem, snatching and holding it close to her chest. She stepped away from Jymaiyri, staring at her with a sort of primal terror. Tears were rolling down her face. She said nothing.

... The protective barrier started to appear around Nora. Jymairyi had a few seconds to hand the baby over before she would get taken with her. @innsjo | juno🌻/jymaiyri🌿/minnie🌺 @Sauce | Nora🧶+Lykos🐺

Jymaiyri hastily put the baby back in the crib. She was crying already. "Please- Nora-" She kept pleading, though her demands had changed. "Don't let her get hurt. Please. Don't let them take her with me." @Mads|Madison📱+Aldreda🔥+NPCS👽

Reconsidering, Jymaiyri wasted precious time living to take Minerva out of the crib and hand her to Nora. "Nora, you have to take her. If- if you won't let me live, you have to take her. Please. Please." @Sauce | Nora🧶+Lykos🐺

Her eyes moved between Jymaiyri and Minnie. Then the totem and her. …Shakily, she moved the totem into the crook of her arm and took Minnie. She didn’t know how to hold her right. But she brought her close to her chest. Nora couldn’t meet Jymaiyri’s eyes. ”..’m so- ssorry…” @Mads|Madison📱+Aldreda🔥+NPCS👽

The forcefield snapped shut as soon as Nora had grabbed Minerva. Seems like someone was waiting for that to happen.

Minerva was still wailing and crying, completely inconsolable. Jymaiyri lingered near even as the forcefield closed. Her eyes were red and bloodshot with tears and anguish. "Please. Take care of her. Please." And then, her entire body stilled. Breath became suddenly absent in her lungs. She collapsed on the floor and began to writhe in anguish- physical and emotional, as rot overtook her. Her body was decaying far faster than decomposition would usually take- especially in a scenario like this. Her skin sagged, it grew pallid and greenish. Her hair thinned. Mold and fungi grew through her, ravaging her body. Was she already dead? Or was she going through all this living? It took only a matter of minutes til she was in a state that could only be described as corpselike. She lay on the floor, still and deathlike. @Mads|Madison📱+Aldreda🔥+NPCS👽 @Sauce | Nora🧶+Lykos🐺

As Jymaiyri was decomposing, Nora was zapped away before the process could be completed.. The hotel began to collapse, from the top floor down. It broke down and the pieces hit the dead grass before breaking the ground as well. Everything, including Jymaiyri's moldy remains, turned to dust in space...
