After our battle, the army took Yuri into custody, hoping to deactivate his Gift and return the people he had transformed into toys back to their original selves.
Unfortunately, they just confirmed what I already knew from using [Hollow Destiny] on him.
His Gift worked like a curse, so deactivating it wasn't enough to reverse the transformation into toys.
Inside the Kingdom's clinic, Raella and Gabriella worked exhaustively to stop the curse from creeping further up Lana's leg.
Progress was slow, a constant back-and-forth battle measured by tapes strapped to her skin.
The optimists among them predicted that it would take them days to restore Lana's leg to normal.
Agatha, the realist, pulled me out of their sight.
In a hushed tone, she asked me permission to amputate Lana's leg, if the worst came to worst.
She warned me it could be a traumatic and painful experience.
Similar to removing the curse, they'd need days to regrow a limb, even with magic and Angie's angel tears.
