Emiko turned to flash a smile at Lily, "<em>It's really the best...  We can't possibly help them right now.   Just think of these poor girls when we find the witch, use it to give you strength to fight her and put an end to all of this</em>."<br/><br/><br/>Emiko pinched the bridge of her nose with her fingers as she put the scene behind her, then turned that into a rubbing of forehead and fingers through her bangs.   A puff of breath.   "<em>The Lady of this maze lives on sexual energy; the sooner we put her down the sooner everything in here goes away, the sooner she stops corrupting the area around her in the real world.</em><br/><br/><br/>When the spirits finally speak as one, Emiko frowns deeply and hesitates.   She doesn't turn to face them, she won't give the spirits, or the Witch, that satisfaction.   "Tell her to get ready for us.  We won't allow her to live a moment longer."
