His ears ringed and the world became a blur as he drifted in and out of consciousness. 

He felt himself get hoisted up and moved around. His eyes wandered lazily as he heard muffled screams and shrieks and saw playing cards flutter down around him. 

"Gurrrgghh," he burbled senselessly. 

He saw things. A man in a yellow raincoat. [i]"The crazy?"[/i] the thought crept in his mind, but he couldn't even muster up the feeling of alarm. Beside him, was a girlish figure, Ethan noted red optic hung over one of her eyes.  

His eyes drifted up and towards the green-haired girl carrying him. Her expression. More calm and collected than when he found her. Something dangerous, not robotic but not human.

Her face reminded him of stories his mother told from ancient times. Of beings from the heavens that rained down fire and wrath upon the earth.

"Angel," he mumbled and drifted into the blackness of unconsciousness.
