[Junna's struggling against Nene, at first. But that stops for a moment -- and she tenses -- as she feels the icy shock of the cold water that rushes in.
She blinks at Nene, as she shouts that she isn't letting her go -- and then she gets yanked up to her feet, water rushing around her.]
G-gh...
[She looks at Chaosbringer, blearily. Her eyes blink once. She registers what he's doing -- using a bow, using her abilities.
And it's okay to... to be herself.
Then she looks at Olruggio. She blinks at him, too; she only talked to him the once. But, he told her even then to not push herself too hard. To... to get help.
Then, at La Pucelle. Lisa's friend. Her friend,too. And she's setting down on one of those platforms.
Junna looks back at Nene, and she listens. She looks miserable -- in a few ways, with those cracked glasses, bags under her eyes, and exhaustion just showing through. She looks a little like a drowned rat, too, with the way she was soaked.]
Nene-chan... [That goes on, and -- and there's something about her legs. Junna blinks once. She looks down for a moment. Then, back up at her.
And those fish scales, keeping her safe. She swallows.
Then she stares more.] Please don't steal my glasses. [Her voice cracks.] Y-You're amazing, Koi. You shouldn't sell yourself short. I...
[There's people who want to see her again. Junna's voice cracks again.] ...Please, get me out of here.
[It's fortunate that Chaosbringer makes those platforms. It gives them all something to stand on, as the cold waters rush in. There's also debris lifting up; the pieces of stagecraft that the Kirin dropped down.
Those are much more precarious to leap on.
But thanks to Torch and Chaosbringer, La Pucelle has secure footing. And she shoots a beam of light -- shifting into a dolphin -- that smashes into it. The Kirin explodes into putrid black smoke, that rolls over all of them. And when it clears...
[It opens its mouth and vomits out a high-pressure blast of rotting tomato gunk, like a dragon breathing flame at them all. Then, the spotlight shifts around and falls on Junna...
And a massive, rotten tomato flies into her, smashing her away from Koi and against the wall. She sticks there, screaming as she hits the wall. The rotten tomato pulses...
...and Junna sags, as a patch of giraffe skin begins to grow over the left hind leg of the Kirin. The gigantic rotten tomato is draining Junna's life and funneling it to the Kirin.]

Its skin is gone. Underneath, it is a mass of rotting tomatoes, cucumbers, corn, and other fruit and vegetables. Its eyes, now red, twitch about.]
