Screams erupted, the smell of burning flesh tainted the air.
More Z-Streamers had lost their lives, and the weight on Jang-book had increased.
Lying flat on the floor, the ringing in Min-ho’s ears returned. His heart pounded hard, threatening to break free of his chest as his limbs began to quiver.
"Just let me go!" A voice emanated in his ears. It’s tone crisp and clear despite the ringing.
With a blink, Min-ho could see a girl in hospital clothing. She was small and very thin. Running toward the window, he could only see her short blonde air fluttering in the wind.
He chased after the girl, only for his heart to stop when she leaped out of the window.
Diving in, Min-ho reached out and grabbed the girl’s arm just in time.
She hung from the towering building overlooking a massive technological city that went about its business without even noticing something as insignificant as a child trying to take her own life.
Looking down at her, Min-ho felt his being shatter at what she had tried to do.
