♫ HUNGRY!


Are you ever going to be fast enough to outrun everything, Judas?

ONCE UPON A TIME IN HOPELAND;
The Dormitories and the Laboratories
Hopeland Orphanage, in its good and not so good days. Shadow Wolfwood will tell you to go the Laboratories; the Eye of Michael's enforcers wait to inject you with the drugs in Wolfwood's vials and make you better. Livio wants you to find the other children and bring them back to safey, but will eventually leave to find Wolfwood himself no matter how fast you go. Fight your way through the lab or save the children; both choices deliver you to the belly of the Eye.


CHILD OF BLESSING;
The Eye of Michael HQ
The Eye of Michael's training facilities and Plant storage. Once you're far enough in, you'll meet another Wolfwood who wants nothing more than to shoot you dead; you can either confront him or go around him. Going around him leads to a repeating looping of classrooms and expendable young Eye of Michael goons; going through him will be a battle to not get shot by a skittish, defensive little gunman who's very good at what he does. Both paths will lead to Legato Bluesummers and an older, enhanced Livio. Disabling or killing Legato and Livio will let you out into Julai in the middle of its last hour.


HIGH NOON AT JULY;
Julai
The city of Julai in its final day. You're emerging from ground zero of the Eye of Michael's weird cult tower and the city is being overrun by a giant plant organism that looks like Vash's mother. The military think you're part of it and will try and stop you, and the people of Julai are being menaced and mulched by the plants. Help them, or run. If you linger for too long, Millions Knives will find you and attempt to reduce you to fertilizer despite the best efforts of the Humanoid Typhoon that Wolfwood remembers. Eventually, the twins will go up--and everything will go white when they come back down.


HUMANITY;
In Kaisou
Trying to enter the Metaverse immediately after the July Incident is an exercise in futility. Wolfwood's space is just white static and the phantom feeling of coarse sand and unrelenting heat on your skin. You have been returned to Cathedral Hill for at least a night.


THE RUNNJING MAN;
THE the Outskirts of Julai;
Julai City is a hole that seems to span forever and all that's left are clouds of glimmering Worms and a rusted metallic scrapyard. In the center of the scrapyard, you'll find Nicholas D. Wolfwood at odds with Nicholas the Punisher. They're bound to the duty that they can't put down, the Cross Punisher standing like a tombstone in the middle of a sandy arena. The bigger, hungrier Worms will try their luck with bringing down all of you fresh hunks of meat. Save Wolfwood. End this.

[Eve has been in the back this whole time, sitting on a bench in what she hopes looks like a casual manner. She's used her powers quite a lot today, and her legs might give out on her any minute now. Something that'll be obvious once she has to get up, but hopefully that'll be after Dante and Vash leave.]

[Her mind was already swimming with what she just saw, dots being connected. Then Jun approached Vash, Vash offered his arm, Jun agreed, and Kni ran off to pick a fight. This is too much right now, too much. They haven't even gotten Wolfwood back.]

[Why are they all fighting]


Ah-

[And Jun is leaving. Her half raised arm drops, and Eve looks over to Nito with a dejected expression. She appreciated his attempt! But-]

Your plan... it didn't work.

[Nito looks to the sky for a moment, gathering himself.

My friends, were it that you were here to aid these beings whose hearts you would understand better than I, he thinks to himself, knowing both witch and man are far beyond where his sentiment can reach.

Then he returns to the moment, giving Edward a grateful glance before he limps over to sit next to Eve.]

...Alas, I suspected it may not. Living things are... complicated in ways I could never truly understand.

[A moment's hesitance, and then his hand is placed atop Eve's head in hopes that it will be a comfort.]

Nonetheless, I have been charged with seeing you and Kni home, and I mean to be sure that you, at least, are hydrated.

[ his chest feels hollow. He knows what needs to be done, he'd do anything to prevent a second incident, but of course, kni doesn't understand that. He's too young, hasn't experienced the things he has--and worse, he... quietly realises why the kid is reacting so violently. His memory flickers to their Sister, floating quietly in that red room, silent like the grave that it was.

He closes his eyes to shake the image from his mind. Having a good memory like this wasn't always the best, especially when remembering things like... that.

He watches shroud's back as it retreats and he lets his head sink down for a moment. Hand on the back of his neck as he shakes his head gently. ]
Edward's right. We need to go home, rest, and then come back to this tomorrow.

We still need to rescue him. And standing around making a mess of this argument isn't going to do much.

...Sorry. I know I shouldn't have said that so thoughtlessly. [ he should have waited and told Shroud in private. But he really was never the sort of person to think ahead of certain things when it came to protecting human life. ]

I appreciate you all for being here. [ he turns his head to look down at Kni. ] ...It's okay. So long as my Angel Arm doesn't come back. Noone needs to hurt anyone.
