[DOLL DEFENSE ROLL: 49+40]
You do a soaring leap into the sky, sword out, blade ready. Underneath, the Doll continues the bleed in a pool of its own blood, struggling less and less as it seems to finally stop. In its last moments, it looks up as the legs scrape against the ground.
And through its damaged face, it seems to relax as you approach the heart. And you slash.
There's a spray of blood again, before the Doll goes still. The entirety of Walpurgis' Doll comes to a halt, and unlike the rest of it, the Doll doesn't melt into the city. It sits, with you sitting in the middle of a corpse, covered in blue blood. You take a deep breath, relaxed and calm for once in the fight, the ground underneath your feet still slightly cracked from your landing. You slash again, and emerge from the side of the Doll.
And as soon as you do, still coated in blood, you hear a click and a
whir. You turn your head quickly, and a single, tiny gear emerges from the center of the mechanical audience, just above the stage where the Doll originally emerged. Among the wreckage of the false city, as you clean your gem and look over to Homura, you see the gear twirling atop a small pole.
[5 CLEANSES LEFT]
Kyouko blinks as you walk over. Both of you are exhausted, panting, and covered in both your own and the Doll's blood. She coughs and stands right next to you. "Is...fuck." She coughs again. "Is it over?"
