With Neptunia contracted, Kyubi and Klaire returned to the Alysse's palace with their prisoner in tow.
They were the last to return apart from Carl and Kitsunoko was likely wringing her trip for as much freedom as she foresaw herself having in her immediate future.
Upon arriving, they found that Alysse had remodelled her palace to hold a mass meeting, the topic of discussion made clear by everybody's positions. The faction and ally forces in one intermingled mass, looking toward the front where the committee subjugation team stood with those they captured.
Klaire and Kyubi led Neptunia to that group, letting every step afford him a moment of consideration as he stared in utter disbelief at his captured comrades.
Jupiterran, Marsian, Venusiah, Satur, Mercurian and Sol, the one he expected above all to have gone down fighting. If he had thought to look toward the others when Klaire came for him, rather than just Gilgamesh, he would have seen the error of his ways much sooner.
