Eliza collapsed, crying and wringing her now-burned hands. She staggered to her feet. "How? How is it her fault?" she cried.

Hao sighed,"Well, she was the one who wanted things to be like this..She was the one who caused this whole future to exist...Basically, it's her fault that Marie died" Hao said, giving a sweet smile.

Eliza pointed the steak knife at him. "Netsubo is a close family friend! And I saw you kill my daughter with my own eyes!" she seemed both driven and defeated. Repeatedly, she stabbed the knife into the Spirit of Fire's leg, completely heedless of her own safety.

Hao spoke,"You know, you really shouldn't do that...The Spirit of Fire doesn't like to get stabbed wwith pointy things...."With that said, the spirit started to increase his body heat to burn Eliza. Netsubo just couldn't take this anymore. She needed help,"Mephisto!"She called out, scared and upset. The ripples which had been small up till now seemed to grow in size.

Mephistophiles sprinted outside. He took in the situation. "Oh..." he said softly, seeing Marie's mangled body. "Eliza...!" he warned, approaching the distraught woman. "HAO! Call that thing off, or I'll do it for you!"

Hao shrugged,"Eh, my work here is done...I did what I came here for and it's not like if you attack the Spirit of Fire, it'll die..."He turned and started to walk off but looked over his shoulder,"You know Netsubo, you could have prevented all this if you wanted to..."He continued on his way.

Mephistophiles knelt next to Eliza. Half of her face was covered in third-degree burns. "Eliza, honey, we need to get you to the ER quick."
"Where's Marie?" Eliza asked faintly. She didn't seem to be aware of the fact that her body was burned, she was so preoccupied.

Netsubo sat on the grass, eyes wide and vaccent. It was like she wasn't even there. The only thoughts in her head were "I could have stopped him....It was all my fault..." This was the only thing that seemed real to her.

"Stop it, Netsubo..." Mephisto said anxiously. "s**t, I can't treat these, we need a doctor. Where's Faust?"
"Upstairs..." Eliza whimpered. "At the top of the stairway. He was trying to come down, so I drugged him..." she looked over at Marie. "Mephisto? Mephisto, help my little girl!"

Netsubo hadn't even heard him. She continued to sit there thinking those thoughts.
Hao sighed and sat back to wait for the time shift. This was getting tedious and dull. This high point of the day had been when he killed Marie.

Mephistophiles closed his eyes. "I'm sorry, Eliza... there's nothing I can do for Marie... but we need to get you to the hospital. I'll take you, in the car... Netsubo," he said in a loud voice. "I need you to stay with Faust. Wrap Marie in a blanket, cover her face, we'll take care of her when I get back. Make sure that Faust doesn't do anything rash, and if Hao returns..." he trailed off. "I don't know what to do, if he comes back."

She snapped out of it enough to nod. Netsubo got up and went over to Marie's body. She followed orders in a mechanical way that was not unlike a robot.
Hao sighed,"What are they doing now? Wouldn't it just be easier to go back to the original time?"He wondered vaguely if the devil could being Marie back.

Mephsito picked Eliza up, carrying her towards the car. "Good. I'll see you in a bit, Netsubo," he said, driving off.

Netsubo wrapped Marie's broken body up and brought her inside. She went to go check on Faust to see how he was doing,"Faust?"She called, he own voice sounding strange and alien to her.
