Dexter finished explaining.
A strange look passed Midnara's face. It was depressed, saddened, and yet almost laughing at the same time.
"So, that's why the city's been 'cut off.' But was it really just lifted out of some random world...?"
"Beats me. I was just told to scout for contestants. I don't know anything about the game beyond what I just told you."
"Looking back, it's all blank. Everything before today- no, not even all of today- is just... nonexistent..."
Dexter's grin finally faded,
"Who knows. Maybe you were just brought here to screw with one of the living contestants."
Midnara didn't speak,
"Actually I think there was a girl just a little younger than you. Friend of your maybe?"
She simply mouthed a name, one belonging to a strangely familiar person she'd convinced herself didn't exist.
'Amethyst...'

Amethyst muttered to herself. It wasn't commands, she was cursing under her breath.
"I would like not to appear a 'villain' to these humans. But if nothing else...
Sonic amplification engage"
The next words she spoke boomed throughout the store. Jerry covered his ears to avoid going deaf.
"Attention all life forms. This building will be sealed in 1 minute. If you do not wish to be trapped inside, please leave within that time."
"W-wait" Jerry said, taking his hands off his ears. "What are you doing?"
Amethyst spoke normally again, "Clearing the area for unobstructed cleansing."
It was an attempt at a joke, but Jerry probably didn't get it.
