imma start the bidding at a million (Eris sale)

As Oxide spoke, over and over, she was forced to confront the fact that he was not an apparition at all. The warmth of his voice suffused her with strength. She heard Lament, too, and looked wildly for him... and Kindle? Could this be real? Her heart beat rapidly in her chest and Eris began to pant nervously. There seemed to be an enormous dispute over her supposed worth. It was all so distressing.

And Sota... Sota would even go in her place. Eris' heart swelled and she began to tear up - despite how dark things seemed, all of these wolves were gathered here because they cared about her. Except these strangers, and at the moment, that seemed to be where she was heading. "Thank you," she cried, her limbs trembling from exhaustion and anxiety, "thank you all so much..." I'm really not worth this all. They should just let me go. I was foolish enough to get caught. Eris could hardly differentiate the wolves crowded around her, but the familiar scents were comforting. Wherever she wound up, Eris hoped they would be kind.
