"...Ugh..." I wake up looking around and immediately realize I'm inside the Sea of Consciousness—the black sludge here is unmistakable, after all—though I feel humiliated for losing so easily.
I try to move, but as usual, I'm stuck to the ground, though this time I seem to be fixed even more firmly to the floor, which just adds to the humiliation of losing so easily to an opponent over ten times more powerful than me.
"Pandora Yandere?" I see her staring at me. She has a strange look in her eyes while I'm furious with this useless woman who didn't help me stabilize my magic during the fight!
If she had stabilized my magic, which was leaking from the wound on my arm, I could have blown up the cavern area and escaped through the shadows, but she didn't do her part.
