The Blame Game

The Sansara World's detonation lit up the sky.

It was as if a bright cosmic star had been summoned over the Edinnica Arena. It spread shades of orange and yellow. Soon, the light became so intense that witnesses couldn't process its color spectrum, turning it completely white.

The white noise generated by the detonation made the survivors attuned to their own heartbeats. Their subconscious deemed it imperative to keep track of their heartbeats that attested to their survival.

The detonation also changed the terrain. The audience booth was completely destroyed. The arena sank deeper into the ground before huge craters formed over it.

Most of the survivors of this event couldn't be considered eyewitnesses. That's because they had their eyes and ears closed. They had to lay flat on the ground and hope for the best. As a result of knowing they couldn't do anything, they all closed their eyes to find some comfort in the unknown that unfolded in front of their closed eyes.
