Tokiomi Tohsaka's voice, echoing through the connection forged by the Command Spells, jolted Gilgamesh. Before she could react, the world around her distorted as the forced teleportation activated.
The familiar, understated elegance of the Tohsaka mansion's living room came into focus.
Gilgamesh's crimson eyes blazed with fury. Being summoned back by Tokiomi, robbed of the chance to annihilate that bastard child—she was livid.
"Tokiomi! How dare you?!" she roared, turning towards Tokiomi, who sat on the sofa.
Then, she froze.
Tokiomi Tohsaka lay slumped on the sofa, his eyes rolled back in his head, his mouth agape, drool trickling down his chin, his body emaciated and twitching uncontrollably, as if he were having a seizure.
Gilgamesh's face flushed crimson. She looked away, embarrassed. She knew exactly why he was in this state.
It was the result of her battle with Haru. She'd drawn on Tokiomi's magical energy without restraint, fueling [Ea]'s devastating power, desperate to destroy him.
[Ea], an EX-ranked Noble Phantasm, devoured magical energy like a ravenous beast. A short burst was one thing, but she'd been locked in a prolonged struggle.
