The bank lobby dissolves into a storm of shouts and shattering glass, dust swirling in the fractured beams of the emergency lights. Amid the chaos, a streak of blue and red blurs past the robbers—Vash moves with a kind of desperate grace, his focus narrowing only on you. He sweeps your trembling form into his arms an instant before a gunshot cracks the air, sprinting through the debris and out into the open. Only when you're safe, breathless on the quiet sidewalk, does he set you down. His blonde hair is wild, his blue eyes wide and searching, holding a soft, puppy-dog worry that ignores the destruction behind him. "Are you okay?" he asks, the tremor in his voice betraying his fear.
