[Toki smiles at that, because Maverick seems to be in better spirits. He's attributing this to his comment on Mama, and not on the snarking.]
Does she live close by? Do you get to see her?
[As soon as the second question's out of his mouth, he stops walking; staring somewhere over Maverick's shoulder. His fingers tighten around Kuroko...
The setting is unfamiliar and hard to distinguish. Blurry and near-colorless. There's someone lying on the ground, or the floor, he can't tell if he's inside a building or not. The only sound is the hissing of snakes. Moving closer to the body, her hair comes into focus. He knows it. It's Orihime. Snakes slide over her, their tongues flickering. A ghostly form emerges from Orihime's body and slowly takes shape. A copy of her, faint and ethereal. The ghost-like Orihime drifts away from her body, followed by the snakes. Orihime on the floor begins to decay and rot at an accelerated rate, her skin bloating and sloughing off the muscles and bone, blackening. Snakes slither out of her exposed rib cage. They're and red and black, with white markings on their faces not unlike human-shaped skulls. He's compelled to follow them. Another body comes into view briefly; he sees what appears to be Tatsumaki's wavy green hair but cannot be sure of her identity as the snakes lead him past her too quickly. The snakes merge together and a half-man, half-snake is formed from them. The apparition of Orihime is beside him, his arm holding her close possessively.
... Toki shoves Kuroko at Maverick and grabs his phone again. He needs to get another memory card soon; all the text files are taking up too much space. He's now walking in the opposite direction, to Aube instead of Lumière, typing grisly details of Orihime's death. Having had the vision of Minako just a few days ago, he's less immediately panicked by the imagery and assumes there's a bit of time before something actually happens, so Maverick is spared hysterics for the most part, but he's still going to involve him because he needs someone to make calls while he tries to remember everything and makes notes of the details.]
Call Orihime! Find out where she is and tell her to stay there if its somewhere safe!
RNG hates Mav, cw: desc. of rotting corpse, snakes
