[It's not the first memory Willow's received via her Omni, but it's still bracing. At least the memory of Luna is clearly from when she was younger, and while that eliminates the possibility of a broadcast to call for help for something that's happening right now, it doesn't make what happened then any less horrifying.
Luna is brave. Luna is silent. Luna chooses to face immense pain, and a clearly unhinged witch to protect her friends, and it doesn't come as a surprise at all.
It's still not easy to witness, but difficult to look away as well, and Willow can't help wincing as scene plays out.
As soon as the device glitches, and disconnects, with her friend looking both horrified and frightened by what's just happened, Willow calls back immediately, clearly alarmed.]
[ Unfortunately, with immediately calling — Luna is... in the midst of a breakdown. She doesn't know how many people's seen this, if it's all over the network, if Peter has indeed seen this. The sudden thump she'd heard moments within ending the call of Peter's body collapsing to the floor at least meant that Paimon had heard her and quickly put Peter down until she can work out what's going on. ]
Willow— [ She's gasping for breath, pacing back and forth. She feels dizzy and nauseous and like she can't breathe. ] I don't know, I don't know— Inlé said I was broadcasting— on the Omni— and she said it was—
[ Bad. Even Inlé seemed afraid when she told Luna what was being sent out. ]
And I don't know how— is, is— did everyone seen—?!
It's okay - it's okay, Luna. Try to slow down a little, okay?
[Willow tries to keep her tone as calm as possible, trying to encourage calm in Luna as well. It's hardly a shock she is having a breakdown under the circumstances.]
It came to me as a private message, so I don't think it went out to everyone. Just take some slow, deep breaths for me, okay?
[It's moments like these, she resents not being able to use magic - not being able to just teleport over - but, of course. The lamps.]
We'll figure this out, I promise. I can come straight over, if you want?
I'm, I— can't— [ Her heart's racing too fast, too hard. She can't seem to breathe, her lungs don't fill right — and she's pacing hard about her room. It's out there, this is out there. One the worst things to ever happen to her. She doesn't know what to do.
But she hears Willow direct her to breathe, slow and deep. She tries, but it chokes out and a sob — a hand wiping furiously at her face. To see it again makes her sick and dizzy; she can hear the sound of her own screams ringing in her ears. ]
Are you sure—? Is it, did it not go on the network—? [ She shakes her head. ] Peter. He's— I had to. I had to stop him.
[ There's an unconscious boy lying on the floor of the house somewhere, thanks to Paimon's quick thinking of shutting him down. She's going to have to deal with that. ]
[Willow is already heading down the stairs to get to the lamp, at the same time, she's trying to scroll through the network on her Omni to make sure Luna's memory.]
It's not on the network - not that I can see.
[She heads out the door, and jogs towards gate where just beyond lies the lamp.]
I can check your Omni if you want when I get there, or maybe you can ask your Omen?
I'll help Peter however I can too, okay? Just hang on, I'll be there soon. Can you come let me in?

He can't see that, he can't. It would break him.
