Inari continues singing, unworried, unhindered, her voice whimsically coming from the walls, and Moo Min-Yon finds that the door he used only leads back into the same room he was just in.

"Snare and deadfall, pit and noose

Drive your quarry where you choose

With no choice except to lose

Snare and deadfall, pit and

Snare and deadfall, pit and noose

Drive your quarry where you choose

With no choice except to lose

Snare and deadfall, pit and noose﻿"

''The world ripples to the creatures within the room, as if it wasn't quite real.... Finished with her song, Inari's illusion fades from the senses of the others. Fires turn transparent and fade away, the balcony slowly fades in, and everycreature finds themselves standing where they were moments ago. There is no burning laboratory, no scepter in Moo Min-Yon's grip. There are no Nirik, only the eight Kirin standing on the balcony, paralyzed as they continue to feel the illusionary suffering echoing through their nervous system.''

''The eight Kirin on the balcony only look forward listlessly as a ninth and final figure emerges into their midst. He himself is sleek and feline, with a wizened face and straight fangs, with magnetic green eyes under an imperial headdress. The Aurochs looks down on the gathering with lips pursed as if in the meanest approval. This time though Inari is sitting on the balcony as well, eyes glowing a vibrant green while purple smoke billows from them. She faces the Aurochs.''

Inari: "You speak truth unwittingly. The war has not yet begun."

''Elsewhere an invisible Phantomenia accompanies Dances in Dust, her mentor, and Agent Neighland. Inari's not quite harmless illusion having bought the creatures a sizable chunk of time. Even if the phantom phoenix is no longer there to try and relax hostilities.''
