"Sirius…why did you come?" Emilia asked faintly.
Despite the dreadful situation, he put on a small smile as he looked at her with his confident, never-faltering magentas.
"Why? You're my partner. I'm not leaving you behind," he told her, "but…tell me–what happened, Emilia?"
Emilia seemed hesitant to answer as her hair seemed ruffled up and one of her cheeks was bruised, but eventually she spoke.
"...I didn't believe you at first. This "dream" stuff…but, I fell into it as well. I was led here…and…he…captured me."
"Who's "he", Emilia?" Sirius asked.
Though before he could receive an answer, footsteps became audible–it was two pairs, coming from the door that was located at the back of the basement.
There was little he could do to defend himself in any way to prepare to face the mysterious capturers of his as the nullification field made him utterly defenseless.
