A couple of seconds after Rocky injected the blue medicine shot into Riva''s veins, Riva''s violent seizures started to slow down and the frothing of her mouth seemed to stoppletely.
The area around her hand where Rocky had injected the shot at, started to regain its original wheatish lusture, which was in sharp contrast to the rest of her purple skin.
"It''s working! Sir Rocky, I think the medicine is working!" Said Erin excitedly as it seemed like Riva was visibly getting better.
Fortunately, the medicine did indeed work, as after a few seconds, Riva''s seizures died downpletely and her skin-tone returned to normal, with her starting to cough out the foam and breathe normally.
*Cough* *Cough*

Violently coughing and puking out her gut fluid which seemed like a green bilish liquid, Riva finally regained some lucidity of her surroundings as she sheepishly looked around and recognised the face that she was looking at.
"R-R-Rocky?" She asked, in a broken voice, as Rocky nodded emotionally to her words.
"Yes, sister…. Rocky! Your brother…. I''m here" Rocky said, as Riva broke down into tears upon looking at Rocky as she threw herself on a bear-hug towards her brother.
"Rocky….. My Rocky!" Riva said emotionally, as she dug her nails into Rocky''s back, afraid that if she let him go, Rocky would disappear like an illusion.
"I''m here…. It''s okay! I''m here with my friends and the Elites, we will get you out of here sister… the nightmare is over" Rocky reassured, ignoring the stinging pain in his back as he kept consoling Riva.
The emotional moment caused Buhara to shed a tear, while it caused Mama Chun to finally realize as to why Rocky decided to go to such a dangerous ce as this underground prison.
Understanding his reasons better, Mama Chun could now respect his decision to call upon her aid in this risky ce, as she decided to help Rocky to the best of her abilities.
"Rocky…. I can''t go—" Riva said, after sobbing on Rocky''s shoulders for a while, as she expressed her desire to stay behind.
"What? Sister…why can''t you go?" Rocky asked, sounding surprised as he did not understand why his sister refused to leave this prison.
"I cannot live without the blue injection…. It''s a drug…. They have my body addicted to it.
My body''s natural hormone regtion is destroyed.
Without that drug, I suffer the worst sort of mental and physical pain.
If I leave this prison, I''ll die–" Riva said, with her voice cracking at the very end, causing her to break into a heap of tears once again.
It was at this moment, that Rocky realized for the first time ever that the person that he was talking to was no longer the same sister that he remembered from about a year ago.
The Riva that Rocky remembered was an individual who was headstrong and impossible to crack or manipte.
However, the Riva that he was talking to now, had suffered so much trauma that her mental capacity to be bold and fight back had beenpletely destroyed.
"B-but sister, as we speak, the True Elites are carrying out a massive raid on the floor above.
There will be no Olympians left in this ce to give you that medicine even if I let you stay back" Rocky muttered, as almost immediately after listening to his words, Riva started to suffer a panic attack.
Her breathing fastened and so did her grip on Rocky''s back, as she began hyperventting and screaming.
"I''M GOING TO DIE! MY BROTHER IS HERE TO KILL ME….. I''M GOING TO DIEEEEEE... I''M GOING TO DIE THE MOST PAINFUL DEATH…. *SOB* *SOB*"
In a sudden turn of events that Rocky had not foreseen, Riva began sobbing and whining like a mentally unstable person, which made Rocky''s heart palpitate within his chest.
Hugging Riva tight, he tried to project feelings of love and protection towards her sister, however, his attempt to console her was useless.
"Why did youe here? Did you want to kill me so bad? Life was so good when you were not around!
I was alone.
One blink felt like one day.
I HAD ACCEPTED MY FATE.
WHY DID YOU HAVE TO RUIN IT?" Riva screamed, banging her fists against Rocky''s back, as she sobbed uncontrobly.
Neither, Erin, nor Buhara had the balls to make a singlement at this moment, however, they seemed to be as shocked about this turn of events as Rocky was.
"What have those Olympian bastards done to my sister?" Rocky said, his voice sounding broken, hollow and filled with a confusion of emotions that even he couldn''t begin to understand.
Noticing his friend''s broken reaction, Erin walked calmly to the wall where Rocky had discarded the two remaining blue vials and the crumpled letter after only reading the start.
"I''ll keep these safe for now–" he said, storing the two medicinal vials as he had a gut feeling that they mighte in handyter on, before moving on to reading the letter.
As Erin read the letter, a deep sense of dread settled within him when he realized that Rocky was bound to be devastated when he read the full contents of the message.
"Ha…. I see now where Sophia gets all of her filth from….. I guess she''s the dirty sewer you get from filtering out extremely toxic waste that is her father" Erinmented as he absolutely sted Sophia''s father foring up with a strategy this sinister.
What the Olympians had done to Sophia was beyond inhumane. It was maniptive, disgusting and perverse to the point where Erin had to resist the urge to not tear this letter in his hand to shreds for Rocky still had to read it.
"What is it Erin? What''s written in the rest of that letter?" Rocky asked, as Erin shook his head in dismay and passed on the paper to Rocky.
"It''s best if you see for yourself, Sir Rocky" he said, as while still hugging Riva as she cried over her shoulders, Rocky began reading the rest of the Olympian letter.
