the moment feet land against distorted gravel, mone knows there’s a difference in the air. it’s heavier ; accompanied by a feeling of dread as eyes scatter to the remains of a land that looks eerily familiar and also not. she hears the whispers, the strange feeling is mutual among the masses, and mone can’t help the terror that creeps up her spine at the darkness that shrouds them. the remains of what once was stuck in a memory. of the screams, the destruction, of a world of their own no longer for them to imagine.
what was was no longer. it’s an unspoken truth as they hear the director announce their location, and a spark of confusion overrides her panic. the momentary questionability clouds her judgement before she’s reminded once more of the manic she had faced just moments earlier. where was he? her brother was still no where to be seen and suddenly she feels her heart begin to race once more; it gets a little hard to breathe and the tears begin again as she’s pushing past students in search of someone, anyone, who looked familiar to her. all but running into the arms of the one person she knows the most, “soyu!” she cries, “i can’t find him -- i can’t ..” she breathes heavily,
“he’s not here.” ₊
