Diego flung the sword down in frustration. What had he been thinking! He should have just ignored the ghost and left. And then Mayumi fired the arrow. It was an excellent shot, and Diego lunged to get out of the way. But his efforts were futile. The arrow was not only going straight towards him, but, because he had moved to jump out of the way, the arrow sailed straight towards Diego's heart. He had miscalculated the dive. 

Diego Lumumba Vasquesa Lorenzo Montana Respendal Leniendo the Third's life flashed before his eyes. He saw all the people he had taken advantage of. He saw them crying, screaming, and shouting at him. His mother. His lovers. His cousins. His former friends. But, he pushed this all aside. He had to look after himself. It was every man for himself, and these people had been to selfless. The only thing that mattered was himself. It wasn't them that he had upset and failed, but himself that he had failed. He had let himself get into danger. And that was Diego's only regret. His eyes closed, and the arrow sped towards him. His life was over.

Specimen #24-785-003 ran outside. It didn't take long for the creature to end up in the wilderness. It paced up to a clearing. There was several people there. Generally, Specimen #24-785-003 liked to see other people. They usually had food. He observed them communicating for a while, uninterested. He was hoping one of them would drop some food. Suddenly, he saw a small creature sailing through the air. Desperate, the creature dashed madly towards it and snatched it out of the air with it's beak. The quasi-ostrich creature then looked up expectantly, hoping for more food.
