Characters: Takayanagi Masataka and ... open!
What: Surveying the aftermath.
Much of the fictional part of the city had been left in ruins. He had been among them, running and trying to disarm the individuals who had been brainwashed to use weapons. It hurt him, looking blank looks in their faces as they plowed through the city, determined, with clenched jaws and no idea of the true damage that they were doing. No demon could do this in his world; he never wanted to meet the demon who could.
Yet somehow he was out here again. Shards of glass crunched under his shoes as he passed over it. His dark eyes took every bit of it in, and when he reached what could arguably be the center of their portion of the dome, he inhaled a deep breath and took in the bits of smoke and burnt plastic. No one had died there last night, but the intention had been clear. They tried taking him in to the hospital, but he returned to his room and bandaged himself up for another day. It wouldn't do to give up so easily, to not cross back out there and look at it all again. Whoever caused this wanted chaos, he could understand that from the mixture of smells and the blackened walls. Whoever cause this wanted something more than pain, but he couldn't piece it together, as if there was something he was missing when he looked into the eyes of the violent individuals.
Masataka couldn't piece it together, so he jogged over to a wall and pressed his hand against it. There was no pattern, except the fact that it started at once and ended at once. As he ran his fingers over the wall, he realized how weak he felt in this world. Weak because he didn't have the strength that others had, weak because he had no idea how to help—weak, because just as he expected, nothing changed in this world. He turned and pressed his back against the wall, pressing his head hard against it as he squinted to keep the artificial sun out of his eyes.
