Things are a little different this time. There's no alarm, no Father yelling in triumph or anger. Just a young girl laughing from nowhere as Kakuya speaks up. "...good job. This game is over... let's break Ava and then start over..."
The only thing that's the same is that the ceiling of the trial room opens and a container descends. Ava vanishes and appears in the container. She doesn't look happy at all, trying to glance for a purple glimmer in the glass. When she finds one she extends a middle finger at it.
For the longest while the container seems completely empty except for Ava herself. Then her shadow stretches across the wall of the container behind her. A vague humanoid shape appears, tilting it's head in indecision. It takes a few moments but a woman steps out from the shadows.
There's a wry smile on her face as Ava finally realizes someone is behind her. She turns--only for the woman to grab Ava by the throat. She snarls as the woman tries to strangle her. The struggle is fierce but brief. The woman leans in closer, long hair brushing against Ava's shoulder, as she whispers something in her ear. That gets another snarl before she gives her executioner another weak attempt at a middle finger before collapsing.
The woman shrugs before melting into the shadows. Ava doesn't move for a while but it's clear that Ava is dead, her defiance silenced.
Kakuya is quiet too. "Leave. Now... Kakuya needs to think."
