There was a lot going on. Hana practically had to cross her eyes to absorb everything. The appearance of more magical girls only made her view that more interesting to watch. Hana was smiling. There was destruction, yes. There were lives at stake, yes. But there was also something oddly appealing about it all, and it drew Hana right in. The school girl hadn't had this much fun in a long time. Perhaps it was that same excitement, paired with everything else going on, that made her unable to notice the tentacles rushing towards her.  It wasn't until one wrapped around her ankle that she took notice.

“Gah!”

Hana did not understand why the Negari had chosen to attack her. She wasn't the closest target, nor was she a threat. But trying to figure out what the Negari's motives were fell to the wayside as Hana focused on not becoming lunch. She held onto the fence with a white knuckle grip as the monster attempted to pull her off the roof. But that was just the first tendril of many. Several more slender appendages homed in on Hana's legs. They coiled around her knees and thighs, pulling in unison. Hana wasn't even able to see what was going on at this point. Her body was entirely horizontal and the only thing in her vision was a single galvanized pipe that belonged to the roof fencing. Hana was a strong woman, and even beat boys her own age at arm wrestling. But even she knew this was just buying herself time. More tentacles came for her, wrapping around her waist and shoulders. They took turns anchoring to her so that the other tendrils could get a better grip on the school girl. Hana could feel her grip weakening. All of her joints felt like they were on fire due to all the tugging incurred by the monster. She wanted to adjust her hands, but Hana knew the monster would take advantage of such an opening. The school girl was starting to sweat, and that only served to make her grip weaker still. But among the creeping sensations, the game of tug of war, and all the pain, Hana managed to see a bird. It did not look like a native bird. It looked a bit like a parrot. Perhaps it escaped a pet store, or did it escape its home with all the chaos going on? Hana didn't have long to wonder about the parrot. A few seconds later, she saw the bird moving away from her. Not because it was flying away, but because her hands had finally slipped off the fence. 

She screamed.

Hana could feel the wind rushing past her as she plummeted. The school girl's decent slowed as more tentacles sprawled out to cocoon her body. It seemed like the creature needed its victims alive for some reason. Hana continued to resist the monster, but there was only so much you could accomplish by flailing in mid air. With her entire body covered, the tentacles started to work their way up her neck. Hana rolled her head around, but it didn't stop the hundreds of  appendages from sliding all over her body. How humiliating, she thought. Not only was going to be eaten by a monster, but it was going to get captured on camera.
