Auretta looks down. “Then…then take it back…” she mumbles. “I’ll find some other way…”

"NO. I will not leave you to die." Val snarls.

Nori growls, eyes dilating. "SHUT UP!!" He flaps his wings violently. "Just stop. We can find a different way."

Auretta goes silent, staring at the ground. “…Sorry, Nori…” she mumbles.

Val looks over, her look softening. "Nori… we all know there is no other way to keep her alive. Wren, an interdimensional being, couldn't even heal her. I'm surprised I managed to."

Nori makes a horrendous sound, like an overgrown eagle, as lightning erupts from the sky. "NO."

“There has to be another way,” Auretta snaps. “I can’t take your powers! It’s not right!!”

Death himself has to intervene at this point, a towering 24-foot-tall being of smoke coalescing into existence. Auretta's life… was forfeit, until Valerie Soluna sacrificed herself to save her. There can be no turning back, now, Noriaki Ito. These are the Old Laws. Val jumps, then nods. "Exactly."

Auretta glares at Death. “NO! THERE HAS TO BE A DIFFERENT WAY!” she shouts, tears forming in her eyes. “I WILL NOT ALLOW IT TO BE LIKE THIS!”

It is too late, Auretta Plane-Touched. Death says. Val watches this.

“PLANE-TOUCHED?! MY NAME IS AURETTA MIKI! PLEASE!” Auretta starts crying. “There…There has to be another way…” she whimpers.

You have been touched by the life of this plane. Hence, you are Plane-Touched. Death says, his gaze boring into Auretta, willing her to see the truth of everything he's said. Val watches, ready to intervene.

Nori growls at death, staring at them straight in their blackened face. "TAKE ME!!" He huffs, scowling. "Take me instead!!"

Auretta’s eyes widen. “Nori, no!!!” she cries. “This is my burden- Not yours-“

Val glares at Nori, then stomps over, looking him dead in the eyes. "If you go, I go." Death watches all this silently.

Auretta looks between them, tears streaming down her face. “No…no, no, no-“ she whispers. “NO!!!!” she yells as the wind becomes harsher. “NEITHER OF YOU ARE GOING!”

Nori smiles. Somewhere else, death has already taken him. "too late." He says softly, as his limp figure drops to the ground, lifeless.

Death watches, silently. He leaves eventually. Val looks stunned, then growls. Her form starts to glow once more, and she places her hands on Nori's chest. "You asshole!" she screams, forcing his heart to start beating once more.

Nori doesn't move. His soul is stuck elsewhere, needing to overcome the trials of death to win back his life. (I actually have a ton of homework to do so I'll actually have to dip lmaoo)

Auretta rushes to Nori’s side, eyes wide with fear and sadness. “Nori! Nori, don’t go!” she cries. “NORIAKI ITO, WAKE UP RIGHT NOW!!”

(Ah, damn, okay!)

Val screams in frustration. "DAMN IT, NORI!"

(Oh man, bye-)

Auretta sobs, falling onto her knees. “N…Nori…”

Nori's lifeless form grows colder, his skin softening as the blood starts to recede from his face.

Auretta hugs Nori’s body, trying to offer some warmth. “Please…Please don’t go…” she sobs quietly, holding him close to her.

Val sobs. "Nori, why?" She wraps her arms around him, trying her best to heal him, but failing.
