POWER CONTINUES TO SWIRL AROUND MOB – light dances close to his body , as though SHIELDING him . the swirl of objects in his psychic grip grows more dense , and the movements more ERRATIC . the ATTEMPT to control himself is obvious , but FEAR is overriding rational thought . he can’t control himself . he can’t , he can’t , he can’t .
but KYOUKA COULD . surely , she could . that man didn’t have to die . she didn’t have to use her powers like that . shishou said that special abilities were like KNIVES , and it wasn’t okay to POINT them at people . he believed that , so why . . . ? why was kyouka so – so OKAY with this ?
“ no ! ” energy bursts with his words ; rubble flies about at INCREDIBLE SPEEDS . “ he couldn’t . . . e-even if he could , that doesn’t make it OKAY to hurt him ! t-t-to KILL him ! ”
kyouka retreats demon snow, closing the phone and letting it return to dangle by the thread that keeps it around her neck. even with the agility she has, the girl finds it hard to dodge all of the pieces, and only remains safe via jumping from surface to surface.
❝ shigeo ! ❞ again, she calls him. though this time she isn’t quiet, tears beginning to form. she needed to end this - needed to calm him before civilians got hurt. it was no doubt that the agency was already on their way, and the realization only pushes her further. the ability user’s actions are filled with purpose now. heart and mind set on determination. set on light. set on . . . mein.
❝ you don’t understand yet ! ❞
kyouka doesn’t quite understand either. were her words regarding the world . . the situation ? the brutal nature of the man who’d been in front of them. or something deeper. perhaps her own feelings. her need to protect him at all cost. the way that he was so bright that it nearly blinded her, he was her first friend, the one who helped relive a childhood she’d long since forgotten . . the first person to hold her heart, little to either of their knowledge.
her throat feels tight. she shakes her head in a physical attempt to get rid of the thoughts, but they’ve already consumed her, and even worse . . the action blindsides her, and the girl falls victim to a piece of rubble. sliding off the current surface she’d been about to jump off of, she instead hits the ground with an oof. the last thing she remembers seeing as she falls is atsushi and dazai grabbing onto mob. the world goes dark, and all kyouka can do is let it happen.
