It’s in those moments that Blanche totally runs out of patience. One of the crystals has been returned to its host, and the other is being grabbed for while the valkyrie is down. This isn’t turning out like how he had planned. He wants these people to die, and he’s done holding back as far as he’s concerned. He’s let this go too far already, attempting to take captives instead of going right for the kill.
Time to take a page from Lesedi’s book, perhaps. The ritual has already been disrupted, so there’s nothing to lose. Destroying all of them should be trivial if he fully uses his abilities. Starting with Greg.
But, when he lashes out his hands, ethereal talons replacing flesh, something gets in his way. There is a visible flash of long flowing hair and a woman’s sillhoutte, and Blanche is suddenly pushed back to the edge of the stage, the hand he was using to hold Sans detaching and dropping he skeleton to the floor a short distance in front of him. Luce will hear a familiar voice in her head:
“You guys gotta get out of here, now.” It’s Arpegius, and it looks like he’s not alone. Meanwhile, Blanche cannot interfere as Venus snags Meril’s crystal.
