(This scene takes place some time before Shale arrived to the group.))

Pyrope wakes up in an unfamilar place. He finds himself strapped to a chair in a dimly lit room, there is a figure in the shadows sitting down.

Pyrope: Hey! Where am I? Tell me, I'm sick of g-

The figure walks into the light, and it's Dorado.

Dorado: You're at my ship, my name is Dorado.

Pyrope: Dorado...? Oh, whatever, let me out of here! Why am I even here anyway!?

Dorado: Well, to be perfectly honest, you're really just supposed to be used as a message.

Pyrope: A message? What are y- Agh!

Before Pyrope could realise what he meant by a message, it became a lot more ballantly obvious when Dorado stabbed a knife into the gem on his head.

Pyrope: Aurg..urg...heaugh... why?

Dorado: Nothing for you to worry about, just stay still... and go to sleep...

Pyrope couldn't keep his eyes open, but as he tried to stay awake, he tried to make sense of what was happening. Whose the message for? Why did he keep him alive until he woke up? Why has Pyrope not retreated to his gem, and why has his gem not broken? So many questions... that just couldn't be answered.

Back at the present time, Shale tried to find Almandine's voice, but is afraid he went through the wrong tunnel. He bumps into someone.

Shale: Sorry, uh... I can't see... What gem are you?
