Darkness is all he sees for a long time, no matter how wide he opens his eyes, as far as the eye can see there's nothing. It had all started when he had went out to find Wendy because surely she's somewhere out there trying to play hero with whatever's going on. And then a strange feeling overcame him and his surroundings began to become distorted. The sky was no longer the sky, the ground beneath him was no longer the ground. Everything had become..pixelated, as if reality itself were distorting. And before he can even do anything, he's enveloped by darkness all around.
Only after a few more moments does the scene change and it's pitch black yet feels familiar all the same. A light drizzle could be felt on his skin, police sirens sound in the distance, voices and the sounds of hurried footsteps in his direction could be heard. An overwhelming feeling of dread overcomes him as he realizes just where he is. There's not a single doubt in his mind. Tokyo, the city he'd long been able to call his home.
It's only then does he realize that he hadn't come alone. Only now does he take the time to come back to whatever reality this was to see Wendy at his side, holding his arm and looking very confused as to where they are. He's not sure what to say, when he tries to open his mouth to speak nothing comes out.
The silence is only broken by the hurried running of many people he heard earlier come to a halt and it's only then does he look to one end of the alleyway to see two men dressed in overcoats, briefcases in their hands, does he finally know what's going on. "There he is, don't let him get away! Get the girl too!" he can hear them call out before they began to rush towards the both of them.
Without having any time to explain or fully understand just what's going on or how the both of them got here, he takes a tight hold on Wendy's hand and runs. There's no time to talk now because even if he wanted to, they can't.
