“CHERO!” Dino cried, standing in front of her. She was lying on the ground, curled up in a ball, not moving, her eyes closed.
“Che-” Dino started, but was interrupted.
“…! Get out of my way!” Francis shouted at Dino, moving him so he could check on
Chero. She bent over next to the poor girl. She was not that close to him, but she had become important. Plus…it was better for him to check rather than the two who were the closest to her.
“Oh no…” Hime said.
“H-Hime…Chero she—is Chero?” Dino asked, worried.
“She barely has any wounds…but…this complexion…” Hime thought, looking her over.
Francis’s eyes went wide as she felt for a pulse, “C-Chero…”
Francis stood up and backed away from Chero so Dino could be close and check for himself. Dino bent down next to her and felt for any signs of life.
“…..?!”
His eyes went wide and his face was in shock.
“Dino…Is Chero-?” Hime asked.
“Ch-….Chero’s…..heart….has….stopped…” Dino said, closing his eyes and punching the floor.
“Chero? CHERO!!” Hime cried, sobbing.
From outside the mansion Mei felt a sharp pain in her chest. Some sort of darkness was settling over the mansion. Something…was wrong…something happened to Chero.
“ITALY!”
Mei turned towards the sound of Alfred’s voice and ran over.
“What happened?! What’s going on?” Mei asked.
Alfred was holding Feliciano in his arms, “Italy just passed out on me suddenly. We felt a dark presence fall over the mansion…and we were going to finally call France…But the Italy passed out! What do we do?!”
“What were you going to tell Francis?” Mei asked.
“…..”
“Call him. That is what Italy wanted. For now we will watch over him and make sure he is safe. Feliciano wanted to contact Francis for a reason and you know why. So man up and do it!” Mei lectured.
“Alright…”
Leonides stood in the upstairs library of the past with Tsukino, surrounded by monsters to test out Tsukino’s new sword.
“Ah-ha! This is perfect! Are you ready to fight, Tsuki-chhaaan?” Leon asked her.
Tsukino felt a sharp pain in her chest. Her eyes went wide.
IDK WHY IT WON'T LET ME HAVE MORE PICS
“Tsuki-chan?” Leon questioned, wondering why she did not smack him for calling her by his unwanted nickname for her.
“Ack!” she cried, falling to her knees, clutching her heart.
Leon hurried over to Tsukino, “Tsukino?! What’s wrong? Is it your heart?! Does your chest hurt?”
“It can’t be! Not again, not again! I…no…PLEASE STOP!” Tsukino cried to herself.
“It…hurts…”Tsukino sobbed, tears pouring down her cheeks.
“TSUKINO! Tsukino, hold on! Don’t stand up, hold still! I’ll protect you!” Leon said, fighting off one of the monsters.
