[The shadow sees him coming, and snaps its long neck forward to chomp down on him somewhere. It's not big enough to just eat him in one go, but those teeth are going to hurt.
Meanwhile, it continues to taunt Tuuri: You have no future. Your future was lost the moment you got bitten. Whether you die here, or you die back home, it doesn't matter. Fighting for a scant few more days doesn't matter. Nothing you do will change your fate. So just give up.
Tuuri lays on the floor for a moment, in a daze and sobbing quietly. Because it's true: none of it matters. Even if she somehow survives today and makes it to satan's party, all that means is that she'll die slowly and painfully over the course of the next month. The only choice she gets to make here is when she'll die.
She turns her head, and she can just barely see the familiar shades of blue and purple through her blurry vision. Zel is still fighting, even now, with a powerful monster threatening to cut him down. Despite everything, he's still staying strong.
She can't let him fight alone.
She sniffs in once, wipes her face, and pushes herself back up to her feet. Hold on just a little longer, Zel, she's coming.]
