You return to Trinket Tower at the crack of dawn, keen to nip this thing in the bud. The sooner you can deal with it, the easier life is going to be for the residents...and you figure that the scroll Vex offered up as payment to Nicklefool is important. It's a win/win situation for everybody involved...with the exception of the pain you know will come upon you.

You've faced this once before, and you can do it again. At least, that's what you tell yourself as you take a run-up towards the apartment tower and take wing, aiming to glide directly through to the pipes in the side of the building. Fear whispers in your ears as you go, beginning to make your skin crawl. Your wings and tail start to shudder as the pressure around you seems to increase and your body feels suddenly heavy. You look down, noting the grasping, moaning, writhing mass of shadowy, formless bodies beneath you. The realisation that you're falling directly towards them pulses through your body as a manifestation of panic, but there's little you can do as you're pushed down.

You scream as the first clawed hand rips into your flesh, followed by the next, then the next, until you are plucked from midair and swallowed by the sea of dark energy.

Taking advantage of the break in the spiritual assault, you power towards where you think the pipes are and reach for your duct tape, which you brought without the intention of actually using it, but you find it useful for taping growing vines aside so that you have a clear working space. You then get to work repairing the pipes which, as well as probably causing infrastructure damage, is somehow enabling the shadows to congregate in the area. You make quick work of it, all the while hearing promises of prolonged pain and torment.

{Failing Pipes: <Repair>}

With the pipes done, your final goal is to escape this place. Unfortunately, it looks like the only way through is the enormous swirl of corruption now gathering right beside the building. From it you can already see grasping hands, claws and spikes, each one attempting to draw you in. You're able to resist their calls and finally make it out, sprawling onto the dusty ground away from the reaches of the darkness. Your mind is spinning as the whispers finally die down and then subside. Looking back over your shoulder, you can see the heart of the corruption whirling back and forth, ready to be destroyed.

{Corruption's Eye: <Seinaru>} was noted in the Team Records.

You brush off your coat and sigh, heading back to rest for now.
