Listen closely and you should be able to hear

This smell... There's no mistake.

[Haruka lets out a harsh cough. The smell of blood doesn't bode well with him... Especially with things the way they are now.]

Dammit. Why did it have to happen here, of all places?

Kantarou, I have a favor. Translate this message so that the others will be able to understand. There's no time to argue.

Everyone who is in the high school, listen to me carefully! There is the_police_girl wandering around, who smells like blood... Her footsteps are leaving a trail in the halls, so madwashu might have already--...

[...] Stay together, and try to remain hidden. If you see anyone suspicious, then run away or contact someone immediately.

[[ooc the_police_girl is loose! This is a warning that goes out to mainly everyone currently inside of Mariner High School, who may not be able to recieve help from the outside while the kekkai is in place. However, it won't be that way for much longer.]]

Basically, waiting for this illness to "fade" has only proved impossible. Either the affected wind up dying, or the ones who don't have the strength to fight them.

I have no interest in pointing fingers... What I'd like to know instead is why there doesn't seem to be a better solution. Is there no way to develop a medicine to cure or a seal to bind these people?

Their powers and strength are the real problem. Because they can only use it to harm. It is beyond their control to do otherwise. I haven't been proven wrong yet.

Hmph. If anyone sees death as the quickest method of turning this around... You've let this world change you too much. ...You've let them change you too much.

[The transmission starts with a soft clunk. The sound of the communicator falling over, amidst the sound of rustling leaves. Strange... there doesn't seem to be that strong a breeze in the city proper.

Something can be heard starting to crack, like pressure increasing against a glass window. Bit by bit... until finally-]

Ugh... [A soft thump as someone can be heard falling to the ground. Haruka...?]

Don't touch me. [He says, his voice muffled by the communicator's distance.]

Kuu-...! I said don't touch me, dammit! [He shouts, amidst the sound of a pair of large wings flapping together. Something can be heard humming, crackling like electricity.]

Hurry... [It starts to become louder.] What is holding you back?! [Finally, he lets out a loud shout. In a desperate move, the sound of the rings on a shakujou can be heard jingling.

Within seconds, a powerful lightening strike can be seen guided to a different part of the forest. An audible breath of relief is picked up, before another loud thump can be heard along with the brush of grass, and the clang of the staff falling.]

...

"Haruka.... Don't worry, I'll take care of you." [Kantarou's voice pipes in. He proceeds to chant until the transmission times out.]

[[ooc Late at night, a lightening strike should be seen hitting a part of the eastern forest, seemingly at random. No major damage was caused, other than the possibility of one unlucky tree getting split in half.]]

......

( Fail!Private to Kantarou; Hackable )

Kantarou, if you possess the power to break the seal as you are now, then it shouldn't be hard for you to create one as well.

That boy... I've made my decision.

If the chip inside of my body is ever found, then I want you to take me to one of the warehouses or near the outskirts of the city and seal me within a kekkai. It has to be able to last a week, and so you may have to be there to reinforce it yourself.

To lose control of my powers... I do not know what will happen, or what I will be capable of.

There will be no sense in dragging you, or others down with me for the sake of returning to what I was.
