Carnage, II

What?

Huh?

No.

No, this can't be!

What?

No.

My head shook in disbelief as my world started shaking with the numerous bubbling emotions, negative ones.

"M-Mai," I stuttered with the remaining sanity I had left in me to try and act normal, "Please… go in the back of the crowd and leave this place, don't stay here…" I strangled those words out of my throat, barely keeping control of myself.

I couldn't help but question within myself the same things all over again, not believing of my eyes.

How?

What?

This just… isn't right!

That's Haruka hanging there, right?

Haruka Maki.

An old friend of Mai's, a trusted, and dear comrade of ours during this hellish journey that she was always there to support us.

Haruka Maki, my savior on the seventh floor when I had gone unconscious.

Haruka Maki, the one who threw herself in front of danger, in front of me when I had rampaged during my slumber.
