[/indent][indent]Chise's glancing became more focused as his classmate continued on with her line of questioning, his eyes narrowing in concern. So she [i]was[/i] involved in it somehow. Asking him if he [i]"saw something"[/i]? It was far too much of a coincidence. Despite how sure he was, any doubts would almost immediately disappear as the scene unfolded before him.

Before he could break his pause with a response, they were interrupted by the buzzing of Shiratori's phone. Chise watched skeptically as she went to answer it, before bleating about whatever it was that she received. She was quick to stow it -- but even quicker to withdraw it once again as it buzzed off once more, this time more urgently.

Chise was about to make his own remark before the whole interaction flipped-tone on its head.

Shiratori's look of surprise at whatever she had been sent was accompanied only shortly afterwards by...[i]the vision[/i].

Everything changed once again. The sun vanished, replaced by the pale gaze of a massive moon. The sky darkened with it, and the wind stilled - almost like it was out of fear of whatever this place was. Chise's sneaker momentarily slid before he caught his footing, the thick blood beneath his feet making for a more-slick-than-usual sidewalk.

Chise's eyes darted to his surroundings once again and he absorbed as much of what he could see as he could - lest it vanish again as fast as it had the first time. But it didn't seem to. Instead, Shiratori turned to face him, and he took a step back, posturing himself defensively as she began to speak.

But her next words, in honesty, confused him. They confused him, but he absorbed them nonetheless, and upon registering what she had said, he tried as well as he could to steel himself. [color=396690]So.. it's all real then, huh..?[/color] The gears in his head were turning - perhaps as urgently as they ever had before. [color=396690]She's really serious..[/color] He couldn't believe he was thinking it, but this really was just like some sort of crazy manga he felt like he'd read before.

It took a few seconds for him to adjust to the reality he found himself in, before he finally managed to speak - doing so with a discernable amount of seriousness that would be unusual to those who knew him. [color=396690]"Right.. I.. Okay. I understand. The exposition can come later- if things are really as urgent as you make them sound then we shouldn't wait."[/color] He spoke, his eyes scanning the area around him. The threat of death was something that he, at the least, would take serious for the time being - but he wasn't sure what it was that could rationalize such an idea. If he used manga logic, though.. he had the faintest idea that maybe something was [i]out there[/i]..

He wasted no time in stepping up alongside Shiratori. He wasn't sure where they were going - especially with how all the buildings changed to look different - but he would match the urgency of her stride and follow along.
