aspiring[At first, there's simply a blur of images and the sound of breathing—hard—accompanied by running, though the resounding footsteps in the background makes it clear that he's not... alone, for a lack of a better word.
Still running, with the footsteps growing louder, but the breathing halts for a moment, and then there's a voice as the SFC is lifted to reveal one very terrified Billy Iketani.]
H-Hey? Sa—
[—but whatever he was about to say is cut off by a choked cry. The SFC flies through the air, resuming the blur of images on the screen, but the sounds are still clear.
Impact: the sound of metal hitting the ground—a dagger, for those who would be familiar with such noise. A clatter, presumably from SFC, and then—

He drops the SFC in shock, staring at it on the floor, expression utterly horrified; no mask covers his face.
...
A shuddering breath. He...knows it's too late. But he has to try to find Billy. He has to, to hope that somehow the boy got lucky, just maybe--
...And he has to find Saya.
But for the moment...he's paralyzed, too horrified to pick up that SFC off the floor, the scene replaying over and over and over again in his head.
So stupid. He'd been such an idiot, and now Billy had payed the price. Slowly Matthew takes a choked breath. And then he closes his eyes, shuddering and still utterly frozen in place.]

Date: 2011-04-15 02:20 am (UTC)… Guess she was too late about that.
At some point, her pace that was formerly a run slowed and stalled to the point where she couldn’t bring herself to take another step. There wasn’t much she could do besides hold her SFC numbly in her hand.
Why wasn’t she there? Why didn’t she hurry up? Why was she out saving people she didn’t even know? Why couldn’t she maintain even the slightest form of loyalty and stay by the side of someone who needed her most?
Eventually, she realizes she needs air. But for some reason, the breath she took sounded a lot like a sob. And the screen of her SFC was covered in droplets and small rivers- when did that happen?
Then she can’t hold it in anymore. She forgets where she is and what she was about to do. She crumbles. She didn’t think she’d ever cry like this again.]
