Rumble....
Suddenly, his pupils contracted slightly.
Subtle anger flickered in the depths of his eyes.
"Ughhh… Can you quiet down a bit…? My head… it hurts…"
Luna staggered behind him, her voice unsteady, as if her mind itself was bleeding.
She chuckled weakly, falsely, as blood trickled from her ears. Her hands trembled as she covered them, trying to muffle the noise that didn't come from sound, but from existence itself.
Even she, who had tasted death more times than she could remember, was now gasping. This pain wasn't physical.
It was reality being torn apart inside her.
Something was screaming.
Not out loud, but inside the threads that formed her being.
And then... Darkness.
A crashing silence swallowed her.
The window before them, framed by the laws of causality, shattered with a brittle crack.
Just like her.
Reality collapsed.
