Claire allowed herself a moment to recover after her sister, Xoxi, the skeleton, and the literal new kid fled the scene. There was a number of things rushing through her mind at a rapid pace, and all of them were actually bothering her enough to sit her down. A bad move to make in the middle of a battle that seemed to be expanding its active conflict radius further from its starting point and towards the house. In all fairness, however the stress of the importance of the situation only served to add to growing chaos within her.

It didn't help that her and her sister's clones just walked in...

"[color=f7941a]Wait, wha-![/color]"

The music goddess wasn't given a chance to finish her sentence or even react before she was bound by twilit constructs produced by her own clone. She could feel the internal music of the constructs play within. She tried to hijack control, but there were two problems that prevented her. The first was that creating the child took a lot out of her. The second was Yukiko showing off a bit of her "Tough Love", palming Claire in the gut.

"[color=f7941a]Hello, Claire.[/color]" said Clarice.

Claire simply glared at her, unable to even speak due to the clone's constructs. As Clarice walked toward her counterpart, Yukiko danced away, giggling. Clarice caressed her counterpart's cheek the way those creepy villains do when they plan to...Claire's eyes widened as her clone smiled gently.

"[color=f7941a]Let's just get to the point.[/color]"

The energy summoned by Yukiko immediately crafted a circle behind Claire, and a chained spear shot out, impaling her.

Claire couldn't even scream in agony.

[Center]Meanwhile...[/center]

Yuki began to scream. The ones around her may or may not know why she was screaming, but she screamed regardless. She felt pain. Strong, agonizing, almost deathly pain. Thing was, it wasn't hers. It wasn't even true pain. It was sort of like an alarm system, indicating when her sister recieves a fatal wound. Claire too had a similar sense, only much broader, allowing her to know when Yuki is injured in even non-fatal ways. She was just better at hiding it.

The music Claire placed within the child stayed within it, but that was because the child's sentience had made it their own. It was part of their existence, so Claire would have to dispel it herself in order for it to leave. Still, it reacted to Claire's wound, shaking when Claire recieved it.
