Katia claims the Orchid but postpones choosing among its three life-changing effects until her squad reaches the ninth floor.
The Orchid is released when Katia completes the Night Wyrm's assassination contract and opens the engaged lock box. She stores it in her inventory rather than consuming it immediately.
Its available paths are to triple Katia's Constitution, end her pregnancy condition so she can be exported, or transform her into a Celestial Attendant bound for the twelfth floor. Katia refuses to choose while members of her squad remain below the ninth floor.
A luminous divine orchid with three differently colored currents branching through its petals.
The Orchid gives Katia a route out of her condition but forces a strategic and personal choice.
