"Wait, wait, I was only joking, Mr. Kurama... please, don't leave so soon," Sabrina purred as she grabbed hold of Rin's shirt and pulled him back before he could walk out.
"Sigh, Mrs. Newton, I don't take kindly to jokes or subversive flirting, so please behave and act appropriately for your age," Rin said as he stopped and turned around, only to be mesmerized by Sabrina's eyes, which resembled polished amethyst and glowed with an intensity that outshone even the sun's radiance.
Yet, while magnificent, the true star of the show wasn't Sabrina's eyes, but her expression. As she seductively bit her lip while gazing at Rin with puppy-dog eyes dripping with lust and unspeakable desires.
'Gotcha,' Sabrina thought with a smile. 'Now all that is left to do is to reel you in, and soon, you will be telling me everything I need to know to find my son, Rin Kurama Jasper. And with that, you can say goodbye to your previous life.'
She giggled as she quietly wove together the laws of Illusion, Love, and Magic, slipping past Rin's mental defenses and bending his sense of reality and time to her will.
So that it would be easier for her to extract the information she needed without causing permanent damage to Rin's soul and mind. Following her surprise attack, which caught Rin off guard as he momentarily lowered his guard and fell into her scheme.

Meanwhile, as this went on...
Within a hidden space of Rin's Soul, just below where his Soul Palace was located, Pharaoh suddenly awoke from his slumber as his eyes opened in surprise and irritation.
'Hmm, just what did this kid get into now?' Pharaoh wondered after sensing a foreign presence trying to infiltrate Rin's mental space.
"Tsk, just why must this version of myself be so playful at times? But then again, I could use this time to view the world and stretch a bit," muttered Pharaoh with a smile, even though he was frustrated with the antics of this reincarnation of himself.
As he stood up and teleported to where he sensed the disturbance, while also thinking of ways to use this moment to have fun without Rin knowing.
Poof.
"... interesting, so we have a manipulative mother, a compliant father, and a fool convinced he stands above the program. Sigh, truly, just what did I do to witness such a spectacle?" Pharaoh muttered with a chuckle as he reviewed Rin's memories to get an understanding of the mess he got himself involved in, while keeping an eye on Sabrina's movements.
As he couldn't afford her messing up his one chance at a free vacation of fun and chaos, while Rin took a much-needed momentary break.

'Just why is it taking me so long to penetrate the mental barriers of a Demigod? Shouldn't this have been a quick and effortless process?'
Sabrina wondered in confusion as she grabbed Rin's hands and closed her eyes to get a better picture of what was going on as she poured her energy into him. Using it as a medium to peer into his body and find the source of whatever her was obstructing her from getting what she wanted.
"Huh? Just what the~" She tried to say after catching a glimpse of Rin's soul, before she was kicked out and flung into the wall as Rin woke up in a panic and teleported to the other side of the room.
Following Sabrina's peek into his astral body, which contained the largest Soul Palace she has ever seen, as it flowed in the middle of a universe. As clusters of galaxies and broken stars painted his soul space like stars in the midnight sky.
"J…J-Just w...w-what are you?" Sabrina asked as she stumbled on her words as curiosity and fear lacing her voice as she glanced at Rin with caution. While getting up from the ground and dusting off debris on her clothes, yet as she did that, she never took her eyes off Rin.
"Huh? What do you~" said Rin before he suddenly froze as his pupils constricted and his heart began to beat lower as a wave of drowsiness overtook him.
'Switch.' Pharaoh smiled as he snapped his fingers and placed Rin's consciousness to sleep in his Soul Palace as he took over him.
"Well, allow me to tell you, Sabrina Newton," he said with a chuckle, then smiled menacingly as his voice deepened and the temperature in the room rose, as if they were submerged in the heart of a volcano.
'… just what the hell is going on?' Sabrina thought as she looked at Rin weirdly as she began to perspire.
"Just joking… but anywho, I think this is what you were looking for," Pharaoh, playing as Rin, said as he produced a shimmering white prism made of crystal.
That contained the memories of Rin's and Isaac's fight that the world didn't get to see or witness.
"Um... I... Thank you, Mr. Kurama," Sabrina said after stumbling to find the right words, following everything that occurred in the last 5~10 minutes.
"You're welcome! So goodbye and do remember what I said earlier, as I would hate to have to get my hands messy for such a simple transaction." Pharaoh said as he stared into Sabrina's eyes with an innocent smile, which hid a caged beast that couldn't wait to be unleashed.
"I will, and I assure you, you'll get your items, Mr. Kurama," Sabrina replied as she caught the prism just as Rin left the room with his escort, who brought him back to his cell.
"Welp, in the end, at least I got what I came for… so maybe, this wasn't so bad after all," whispered Sabrina to herself as she sat down and waited for her husband to return. So that they would finally be able to get the answers they sought together and with that some semblance of peace.
