RUMBLE!
While Maria, Emily, and Alma were engulfed by Sofia's Fractured Nightmare Realm, the rest of the people outside the bathroom seemed to have remained mostly intact. The shockwave of Nightmare Energy was powerful, enough to quickly force them to step back, the school also entered in panic as everyone started running, cracks appeared in the ceiling and walls, as the there was a black curtain in the girl's bathroom, an entrance to this Nightmare Realm.
"What the hell happened?!" asked Partner. "Maria! Where is she?!"
"This is a Nightmare Realm! Wait, Partner, don't go in without a plan!" Lucifer grabbed Partner before she was to go inside. "Calm down! Maria is very strong; I doubt she'll face any difficulties anyways."
"But I'm worried!" Partner cried. "Aren't you?!"
"I am but calm down!" sighed Lucifer, trying to hold down Partner who was constantly kicking and punching him to let her go.
