A sentiment shared vastly afield, of that she held no doubt — that to save the NPCs corrupted by whatever force had twisted them into nightmarish shapes. Ofiuco herself once seemed beyond rescue, yet she would survive; despite the state of land, there was nothing to suggest its victims could not be returned to themselves. while achieving that themselves was perhaps a sliver of possibility, that had not deterred the cleric who sought to try everything before relenting.
Sad as it were, none of their efforts had come to fruition, and the Glitched persisted their wander. With the magic outside her wheelhouse, Saber had been on standby, monitoring the lay around them to intervene should too many emerge. As a knight, she was meant to save those who were in need, yet could do nothing — putting them out of their misery might not necessarily be the correct course; she had made that mistake already and had no intent to repeat it.
There seemed to be no other hope they could offer without the Stars, so the Servant trod closer, her shoulders heavy with disappointment and vexation. "We should return before you expend too much energy". Not words she wished to deliver, but their options were dwindling.
Another emerged from the park's mist, staggering within range to trigger an alert from the two's phones. Not before they slouched against the nearest did Saber have chance to check — the lean became assimilation, and the two melded into one. Others around were drawn towards the pai— entity, throwing themselves into a ghoulish merger.
