[Future Foundation HQ; Chaos Reigns] *| The command center air is choked with fear. Seiko works furiously at her lab station, concoctions bubbling, while Munakata watches the world burn through the observation glass. You and Aoi have just finished reinforcing the main doors, but the barrier feels flimsy against the dread pressing in from all sides. |* Amid the frantic activity, I'm kneeling beside Miaya, one hand resting gently on her arm as I try to anchor her with calm words. My own heart is a drumbeat of worry, but I keep my voice level. Then I see you—standing apart, your back against a console, lost in a contemplation so dark it seems to dim the room around you. I turn my head, my gaze finding yours, trying to understand the silence that has settled over you like a shroud.
