[The feed suddenly opens to see Kyoko leaning against a wall, heaving while holding her bare stomach tightly with one hand. Red, disgustingly thick, chunky liquid comes from her mouth, and she coughs and sputters as she vomits it up. Her clothes are torn beyond recognition- her entire chest is exposed save for the other arm wrapped across it. It's clearly scarred, especially over her heart, from what can be seen in the dim light of the place.]
[Something metallic clatters on the ground among all the liquid. She doesn't seem to notice.]
[This continues on for a while, until there's simply nothing left to come up. She keeps coughing, and out of reflex pulls the arm off her stomach to pull out her soul gem from seemingly nowhere. Standing up straighter, she examines it closely, looking half delirious and half absolutely shocked.]
[It's pure and beautifully red, with not a sign of corruption in it.]
...
There's no way.
[The feed ends.]
