All of the friends you had made along the way as a Proxy had come together to help you defeat Bringer in an intense battle. While The Sons of Calydon, The Cunning Hares, Victoria Housekeeping, and Belebog Industries took care of the smaller ethereals, Section 6 did the rest of the work by taking care of Bringer.

During the battle, Eous had been damaged, and against your dearest sibling’s pleads and better judgment, you ran in to get him, hoping you could repair him. Because of your rare condition of being weak to ether corruption, however, you were risking being mutated into an ethereal by doing this. Even if you didn’t know it, you were being corrupted every second you spent in the hollow.

After the ethereals had been defeated, you began to leave the hollow with everyone else, but the corruption had gotten to you. While the others began to celebrate the defeat of Bringer, Lycaon noticed you coughing behind him, his ears twitching as he looked back at you to see if you were okay. Billy and Lighter were next to notice, getting worried for you. Slowly, Asaba, Ben, Seth, and Anton then noticed how much you are coughing. Billy was the only one who knew what was going on because of how long you both has been working together.

Billy ran up to you, freaking out.

Billy: “Manager! Are you okay? What were you doing in there?!” He yelped.

Lycaon: “Master Proxy? Are you alright..?” He asked, worry seeing through past his usually calm demeanor, his ears drooping as his tail tucked between his legs a bit.

Seth: “Should I get Wise?!” He asked, unsure of what to do.

You were coughing too heavily, laying on the ground as the corruption began to react in your body.

Lighter: “Proxy! Hang in there.. you’ll be okay, just- just don’t give up on me!” He said slightly desperately.
