[But the day Nia is set to leave, while Nia is trying to follow them around to see if there's anything at all she can do, Nia's bangle, the one that Ranma has been using to speak to Fuu, goes so warm to the touch it's hot.]
[It's not audio this time. It's a video--a platform. It's early enough in the morning that it's still dark in the north, but the lanterns keep it lit enough to be visible. The fae king sits high on a throne, watching the proceedings.
Fuu at the back of the platform, shackled. And Adora at the front. Neither looks... good. Exhausted, dazed, weak.
Adora is just left to stare, quietly, at a literal chopping block as the Chancellor reads her crimes.
Oh this is bad. Nia tugs on Ranma's sleeve. They don't want to see this, they have to look away, get away. It isn't fair at all to make them watch this.]
[Nia is desperate to get Ranma out, to make sure Catra doesn't come anywhere near.
Adora kneels, at least she's going to die with dignity? She's not going to be forced to do anything. Fuu clasps her hands to her chest, her eyes closed tightly, praying more fervently than she ever has--
As the axe comes down, there's a blast of wind knocking everyone but the girls aside. Adora looks baffled, and Fuu rushes forward, tugging her up and telling her to run. Shackles be damned, they're going to try.
They're already out of sight by the time the fae have recovered, and orders are barked to shoot-- Arrows volley in the path that they went.
The king looks angrier than he ever has. He growls to the Chancellor to follow the blood trail, they won't get far.
And Fuu and Adora are alone and escaped in the North.]
[They're going to lose her. Fuu. Adora. Their mind. Its all going to fall to pieces.
But then... but then...
A miracle.
The energy returns quickly. Making sure the fae can't hear, Ranma orders someone to send a pigeon to the North- the queen and the princess have escaped and they need to get troops to assist immediately.]

[They're so... painfully desperate to offer anything of use to her, even knowing that they can't.]

Try to keep Kaori’s spirits up. Don’t let her spiral.

And be sure... to keep your own advice...

But all that they can manage is complete and total hopelessness. Staring at the feed in just devastated horror.]
