Rain didn't have a hard time turning the beast queen into a core, and he immediately went to check on her in his mental landscape when it was over. Although the dungeon was collapsing without her and without the others, the problem was solved when he teleported back to the previous layer.
"Do you remember me?" Rain asked. "I bet you do, considering how pissed you look like."
"... What do you want?" The beast queen asked. "I have nothing to talk to you."
"Not much, just wondering if you guys will want to fight alongside us," Rain said. "You can take your time talking with everyone else. If you make yourselves useful, you will have your life back, but if you refuse that, you will become my tools for as long as I live."
