The lights flickered off, shocking Benjiro. It became dead silent. Benjiro could’ve sworn he felt the room grow hotter. He rolled his sleeves up, just looking around the room and at his friends. They’d all grown quiet. No one spoke. No one moved. No one did anything. They all stood there, pondering what happened to the power and why there were fireworks mere seconds ago.

Kenji threw a curtain open, looking out the window. Within seconds, he slid the window open, peering out the window and looking around. He stood on his tiptoes a bit, but it was only enough to get a good look. He stood back on his heels, eyes scanning the other three.

“No one’s outside.” Kenji said, his tone as shocked as it should be in a situation like this. Shibuya was a busy city. Everyone wouldn’t just disappear out of the blue.

“Are you fucking with us?” Arati asked, rapidly making his way to Kenji. He lightly pushed him out of the way, Kenji’s back hitting the wall when he was pushed. Arati peered out of the window, then turned back to Seiji and Benjiro. “He’s not fucking with us.”
