Well, I mean the solution to that would've been a giant collab, which I have no problem with- but the logistics of doing so may be a bit more... difficult. You are correct in that plenty of characters would've been able to interject, but then it'd be a rather long process to get the 3ish minutes that just took place happen. I'd write a short bit, wait 3-4 days for everyone who wanted to respond to respond, write the next short bit, and wait for another 3-4 days, and so on and so forth. .... Also, I kinda just got on a roll while writing, so it sort of just happened. .... I do realize that this 'cutscene' sort of played out very similarly to an old school j-rpg, and sometimes I like dramatical cliches a lot more than I should. With that being said, What would you suggest I do? Also- the outcome would likely not have changed too-too much. If Kuro/Eli/Alan/Anyone with a gun had fired at him before he finished talking, his spirit would've appeared earlier and protected him.
