As Vincent approached her, for some reason Emiri felt rather nervous. As he got closer, she could feel him run a hand through her hair. For some reason, his actions sent a chill up her spine. She didn't know what he was doing, nor did she know how to react. Step away? Ask him what he was doing? Luckily, the moment ended, and she was sent away. She shuddered somewhat, though she followed the soldier. She stared ahead, though she tried to see where she was. Maybe if she memorized the layout, she could get to Grant...somehow. He said he needed her in the morning, right? Damn, she should have asked Michel what time the execution was supposed to be. 

She let out a sigh, closing her eyes for a moment. When she opened them, she saw Jaakuna. Wait, Jaakuna? Her mind went blank as she saw him, Wesley, and even Nadeline, though she only looked at Jaakuna. What in Ivalice were they doing here? Did she finally go crazy? But it was certainly reality, and they passed by one another. Why? Why were they here too? Was Vincent going to use Jaakuna to make sure she succeeded? She certainly would not put it past him. But then why bring Wesley and Nadeline? She couldn't make any sense of this.

Nadeline was about to call out to her, but something in the corner of her eye caught her attention. She looked, but it was gone. She could have sworn she saw what looked like Vlyn, but it couldn't be. He was certainly back in Rozarria, or Rabanatre, right? She looked back at Emiri, who was led away. She didn't look like she had been harmed; at the very least she could be relieved by this much.

Emiri was led to a room, and once the door was closed behind her, she tried to recollect her thoughts. Jaakuna and Grant, she needed to make sure they were both safe. But how? One thing was for certain, she would not leave here without either of them. She wondered if her room would be guarded. She tried to open the door and found it locked. That would have been much too easy. She sat on the edge of the bed, letting out a sigh as she closed her eyes. She opened them, half hoping to see Jaakuna again, but she knew she wouldn't

One thing she knew was this: Vincent had better keep an eye on her, because at the first opportunity, she was going to escape him.

Emperor Vincent reminded Nadeline much of Roman, but he still had some hints of Jaakuna in resemblance. Her thoughts flew out the window as Vincent hit Jaakuna. She let out a gasp as he began to beat on Jaakuna. It was brutal and pointless, delivering pain for the sake of it. She couldn't bear to watch, looking away and trying not to waver. She couldn't believe he would do this to his own brother! She couldn't imagine what any normal person would do their siblings, but this certainly wasn't it. It was terrible, and Jaakuna was very well beaten badly. She looked at Wesley nervously.
